    Summary

    "Then we'll face that together, just like we face everything else. There's more than one way to build a family, Sho’. And whatever happens, you're my family. That's enough for me."

    Shoko wants to believe him. She wants to take comfort in his words, in the love and support she sees in his eyes. But a part of her, the part that's been battered by months of negative tests and dashed hopes, whispers that it's a lie. Or if it's the truth now, it won't stay that way forever. Eventually, the strain will become too much. The disappointment will turn to resentment, and the love in his eyes will fade.

    Written for Day 5 of Sugushoko Week 2024.
