Tseng’s personal life is one of complete secrecy that not even his closest colleagues know a thing about. This is all an intentional choice, of course. He can’t keep you safe without making a few necessary sacrifices.

Tseng returns home and finds you cooking dinner. He wraps his arms around you from behind and buries his face in your shoulder. Your wedding ring glistens on your finger. Even if he can’t wear his, you make sure to never take yours off; another necessary sacrifice.

For a while, he doesn’t say anything as he relishes holding you in his arms. Working for Shinra is far from easy, but coming home to you makes it worth it. “I’m back,” he finally says. He’ll do whatever it takes at Shinra to make it home to you.
