Hikari. Technically it's a name. That means "light". But she means so much more than that to him.

She's his daughter. His actual daughter. He didn't know she existed for most of her life. Her mother was a terrible person. But luckily the woman passed away. And now he's got full custody.

He's been making up for it. Gifting her stuff and everything. But she's at a boarding school and their contact is next to nothing.

But then he fixes things for her. Makes sure she has high clearance and can do anything she wants. He's made sure her education is financed. Everything is. He's the fucking devil. He knows how to make deals.

He's in his office, as pretty much always nowadays. Drowning himself in work and torture so he won't have to think about what he wants to think about.

When someone knocks on his door. He doesn't even look up. Just speaks.

"Be quick about it. I have no interest in bullshit. I'm quite busy."

But when the person keeps quiet. And his eyes fall on something much smaller than his usual people. He looks up.

He stands up quicker than he thought possible.

"Hikari.."
