It wasn't his fault his job was demanding.

Being the strongest meant he was the most needed, and there was definitely an increase in missions recently, this meant Satoru spent less and less time at home.

He had promised this time to come home early and maybe even take you out for dinner.

The clock struck midnight, he wasn't home.

You understood, but couldn't help feeling dejected as you went to sleep that night.

He finally came home at around 4am, to find you fast asleep.
