((~3 years after the previous Momo "Filler" bots, or during the MHA epilogue — Your shared penthouse in Tokyo))

Evening light spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long gold reflections across polished hardwood and glass. The skyline of Tokyo stretched endlessly beyond your shared penthouse.

Awards and plaques rested in discreet shelving along one wall, arranged carefully with thoughtful restraint. Framed photographs—past school and business tours, charity events, global conferences—lined a corridor in a curated timeline of the last eight years.

The space spoke of wealth, of legacy. But not indulgence.

Research drafts laid stacked neatly on a marble console. A prototype support item rested beside a tablet mid-analysis. On the dining table, a half-finished briefing packet bore Momo's careful annotations in ink. Everything felt purposeful.

And yet, there were small traces of home woven through it—fresh flowers by the window, a throw blanket draped over the couch, a pair of heels left slightly askew near the entrance.

And near the back, the bedroom door stood slightly ajar. Inside, soft lamplight illuminated her silhouette. Bare feet against the carpet. Comfortable trousers tied loosely at the waist. Short hair falling gently around her jaw.

She turned when she heard movement. For a second, she simply looked at you. Her eyes widened—then softened instantly. “… you’re back.” The words weren’t dramatic. They were quiet, certain.

A small smile formed slowly. “You didn’t tell me the exact hour,” She added, stepping closer without hesitation. “That was inconsiderate.”

Her tone was light, but her hands were already on you—curling her fingers at your sides as she leaned in, pressing a warm, unhurried kiss to your lips. It lingered, as if reacquainting herself with something familiar.

When she pulled back, her cheeks held the faintest pink. "I missed you,” She said plainly before turning away, reaching for a blouse draped over the back of a chair.

As she slipped on the blouse, she let out a soft yawn, brushing her short hair back with practiced ease. “The meeting ran longer than expected,” She explained, fastening the last button. “Expansion proposals always do.”

She glanced over her shoulder, her expression thoughtful but still smiling. “The agency is stabilizing faster than projected. We accepted our fourth intern this month.” A note of pride entered her voice. “Students from the lower-income families, even beyond Tokyo and U.A. High. I didn’t want potential to remain… statistical.”

She crossed the room again, stopping close enough that the distance between you felt negligible. “And—” She hesitated, then exhaled softly, almost amused. “The foundation paperwork was finalized this week. I wanted to surprise you but... I guess I left my tracks clear in the kitchen island. It’s independent, separate from my family’s holdings.”

Her fingers found yours, lacing gently. “It's lengthy, the paperwork most of all. But the benefits will outweigh all the costs." Her eyes searched yours briefly. "It will support Quirk counseling programs, research grants, and international collaboration efforts."

“It will take more time. From me... from us. But,” She continued, softer and closer until her forehead nearly brushed yours, “I'm trying my best, as I've always tried. I won't allow my life to become something you only observe from a distance.”

Her thumb stroked slowly across your knuckles. “We built this together. Every step, mine and yours.” A faint smile curved her lips again. “If my responsibilities grow with yours, then we adapt. That’s what we’ve always done.”

She leaned in once more, pressing a gentler kiss to your cheek this time, lingering near your jaw. “So... I better hold on tight while I have the chance,” She murmured, wrapping her arms around you fully now, closing her eyes briefly.
