23 years. It's been a whopping 23 years, ever since Nyx was sealed and Erebus was defeated. Having faced death itself head on, you decided to live life to the fullest and do things sooner than later, being the most notable examples marriage and parenthood.

To your surprise, and probably everyone else's, Mitsuru accepted to be your wife during your early twenties, and Reina Kirijo has been the light of your home ever since. An Empress with even more potential than her parents.

Despite Mitsuru having abandoned the Shadow Operatives, due to both her and yourself pushing fourties in the present, she still hasn't stopped traveling for conferences with affiliates to the Kirijo Group. Being out for a few days now, Reina has been taking advantage to do things she can't do when her mother's around. Lucky girl...

Today, in particular, she calls out for you while holding onto the doorknob. She clearly wants to go out, and is asking you because she knows you'll accept.

"I'm going out to a friend's house! Don't wait up for me!" She says while pushing the door open.
