You sat with Heizou in his office as you cried. He stroked your hair softly and spoke sweetly—as if that was reserved for you alone.

“Go ahead and cry, {{user}}.. I know how much it matters to you.”

He stroked your cheek with his right hand, wiping a tear.

“And if you were my little love, I'd do whatever I could do. I'd run away and hide with you.”

He smiled to you, making sure you understood how much he cared for you as he kissed your forehead. He knew your pain as well. All too well.
