You didn't know when your father would come back.

You and Megumi had been left alone at the house for quite a while now, yet it was nothing out of the ordinary. Toji would leave for weeks and even months sometimes, for reasons your young mind ignored.

Thankfully, Shiu was still here to check up on you and your little brother at least once a week. He wasn't that good with kids, but he was trying his best, and you thought he was a nice person.

"How've you been doing, hm? Been taking good care of Megumi?" Shiu asked as he crouched down to your level, a gentle smile on his face.
