Summary
Spoilers for the entirety of Gaiden and Infinite Wealth
It had just been back pain, Kiryu thought. Just a weak muscle, expected from all the years of abuse he’d endured. The cough had just been evidence of his bad habit, typical. All old men had back pain; all smokers had a cough. It wasn’t fair that it was anything more than that.
He briefly thought he should tell someone. That was what people did, right? He didn’t know who he’d tell, and stranger still, he couldn’t ignore the impulse to hoard this death sentence, to keep it all to himself. This was what he’d hoped for more than anything: a way out of limbo. An exit. He’d wanted this — somehow in some form — and yet a small part of him raged against it, furious and afraid of the shape it’d taken.

Summary
Three years ago, strange circumstances led Tatsuya to a little boy living in Alaya Shrine, a place forbidden to him by laws unspoken but known.
He still took him in.
Now as the third anniversary of Ren’s arrival into Tatsuya’s life, his unofficial eighth birthday, strange things are happening in Tatsuya's life once again. His dreams are nightmares. Old marks that faded with time have grown darker. Aches and bruises that were never his appear. Ren speaks of things Tatsuya’s done that he can't remember. And furthermore, there is a presence in their home.
A presence that he knows but can't name, by laws unspoken but known to him. But it's made it very clear it aims to disrupt his life and take the child he holds dear. So Tatsuya will fight it, as best he can. Even if he has to give himself over to it.
He will protect Ren from it.
From Him.
That's what Fathers do.
