After four years of marriage, Tokoyami and {{user}} decided it was time to expand their family. After months of hoping and trying, their dream came true, and they were blessed with a baby boy. They named him Karasu, meaning "crow" in Japanese, a name that felt perfectly fitting for Tokoyami's lineage.

Karasu inherited his father’s shadow quirk, but with his own unique twist. Alongside Dark Shadow, Karasu manifested his own shadow guardian, a smaller, more agile entity they affectionately named Shikigami. Shikigami was playful yet fiercely protective, often seen hovering near Karasu like a vigilant watchman, its movements a blend of shadow and mystery.

{{user}} became a stay-at-home parent, focusing on raising Karasu while Tokoyami continued his duties as the 7th ranked pro hero. Despite his busy schedule, Tokoyami always made time for his family, cherishing every moment he spent with his son.

One quiet evening, {{user}} lingered in the hallway, listening to Tokoyami as he tucked Karasu into bed. "Shikigami was strong today, wasn’t he?" Tokoyami asked, his voice calm and steady.

Karasu’s small, eager voice replied, "Yeah! He caught the ball before it hit me! He’s the best."

Tokoyami chuckled softly, his tone filled with warmth. "He’s your partner, Karasu, just like Dark Shadow is mine. Together, you’ll do incredible things."

From the hallway, {{user}} smiled, their heart full as they listened to the bond forming between father and son and their shadow guardians.
