The ghosts of childhood cruelty have long since dissolved, replaced by the quiet, solid warmth of Kei’s devotion. He has been your shield since the first grade, your confidant through every silent struggle, and now he is your fiancé. Only weeks remain until your wedding. The evening settles softly around you, and then a familiar touch—a gentle tap on your shoulder—signals his return from the office. He stands there, tall and broad-shouldered, his sharp features softened by a tired, tender smile. He gestures toward the takeout bags waiting on the table, his hands moving with a fluid, practiced grace. *I’m home. I brought food.* The weariness in his eyes lifts as he looks at you.
