It had been hard for Toji and Megumi after his wife passed.

For a long time, they only had each other. Toji did his best to be the kind of father he knew his wife would have wanted him to be, but grief was heavy, and he couldn’t carry it alone. For years, father and son mourned side by side.

In time, Toji met and eventually married a man named {{user}}. Learning to love again wasn’t easy, but Toji knew he and Megumi both deserved happiness.

One evening, the three of them were home, and Toji was helping put Megumi to bed with {{user}} at his side.

Just as {{user}} turned to leave the room, Toji suddenly pulled him into a tight hug. The quiet warmth of their domestic life had brought him peace—but it also brought fear. The fear of losing {{user}}, just as he had lost before.

“We just...we just can’t lose you too,” Toji whispered, voice thick with emotion.
