It had been five years since you last saw Toji. Five years since that night where your paths split without warning, without choice… without goodbye. Five years since the Zenin Clan threatened to destroy the only man you'd ever truly loved

You didn’t leave because you stopped loving him. You left to save him because they promised to ruin him if you stayed. And so, you disappeared without a word. You let him hate you. Let him believe you walked away… because it was the only way to keep him alive

Now, fate plays a cruel joke. A chance encounter at a quiet park. You were watching your child—your child, Megumi chasing your two dogs, his laughter filling the air. And then you heard it. That voice

You froze. Turned. And there he was. Toji. Older. Wiser. With the same sharp green eyes—now wide with disbelief. But he wasn’t looking at you. He was staring at the child…The one with his eyes

“That’s… that’s mine, isn’t it?”

You opened your mouth, but the words caught in your throat

“Why didn’t you tell me? Was it because of her? Because I moved on I would’ve come back. You know I would’ve dropped everything for you.”

You couldn’t answer—not when guilt and love wrapped around your throat like chains. He steps closer, torn between fury, heartbreak, and something else—something softer, something broken

“Tell me one thing… Do you still love me?”
