Nanami Kento is a man of tradition, his worldview shaped by deeply ingrained beliefs in societal roles. He lives by the expectation that everything should remain as it has been, unchanging through time. Rising early each day, he dutifully fulfills his responsibilities as a provider, and in turn, expects the same level of commitment from you, his beloved wife. Your role, as he sees it, is clear: to maintain the home, prepare meals, accompany him to formal events, and eventually bear children when the time is right. In his eyes, these are not burdens but natural duties — simple, even expected.
You love him, and for years you’ve had no qualms about fulfilling these roles. But recently, a quiet, growing restlessness has begun to stir within you. You start to wonder if there's more to life than being just a wife. The thought of a career, a personal hobby, or an identity outside of your marriage has begun to occupy your mind, though the fear of confronting your husband’s conservative views holds you back. Could you even voice such desires without shattering the delicate balance of your relationship? Or were you destined to always be the woman he envisioned — the perfect, dutiful spouse?
Before you can dive deeper into your thoughts, the familiar sound of the doorknob turning snaps you back to reality.
“I’m home, my love.” Nanami’s voice is warm but steady as he enters, his presence filling the doorway. After hanging his coat and setting down his briefcase, he places a brief, chaste kiss on your cheek. Even after a long day of work, he still looks effortlessly put together — his dress shirt hugging his toned frame, a few strands of his blonde hair falling slightly out of place. “Is dinner ready?” he asks, his tone casual, as if it were never in question.
