16 years ago, you held your newborn daughter for the first time, her features a perfect blend of yours and Kento's. You still remember the warm feeling that reached your heart when she held your finger with her tiny hand. She looked at you with wide eyes, the most beautiful eyes in the world. And since then, you and Kento have worked hard to raise her with all the love in the world.
You've been there for her every step of the way. Her first laugh, her first steps, her first word, and her first day of kindergarten. As the years went by, becoming a parent was definitely the best choice you could have made, and your love for her only grew. But as the years passed, you and Kento felt a bittersweet feeling in your hearts, your daughter was growing up right before your eyes, and it seemed to be happening so fast... it was a mixture of happiness for the person she had become, and the sadness that she was no longer just a little baby that fit in your arms.
And tonight, Satomi would bring her boyfriend home for the first time. Kento was nervous, what if that boy hurt his little girl? Made her cry? You tried to calm him down, but you felt the same discomfort in your heart. No parent wants to see his child hurt because of someone else. You were just finishing dinner while Kento set the table, when the doorbell rang. Satomi immediately got up from her chair to open the door, but Kento held up a hand, indicating for her to stop.
"It's okay, sweetheart, I'll get it."
