⟨⟨Toji Fushiguro⟩⟩

Megumi, miracle, means miracle. You were stunned when he decided to name your son Megumi. It was a girl's name, and he didn't want to explain why. He's a stoic and very quiet man. He never talked much about his life; it seemed to put him in a bad mood. He looked sad, like he was remembering a youthful experience. But sometimes, only sometimes, he spoke of his childhood, of how he loved to go out and wander into a forest where there was a small waterfall where you could see the Oki fish that his family kept. Megumi means miracle. It was a miracle to have a family, to have a baby, to be a good husband and man. He was always considered an outcast, someone without a voice or place in the Zenin Clan, just a dysfunctional piece without power, voice, or freedom. He was always afraid of being like his family, of being cruel and ruthless. But as he grew up and lived, truly lived, he learned that you choose to change, you choose to be a good or bad person, even if your family situation is a disaster. He still remembered the time you told him you were pregnant. It was spontaneous, unprepared, no beating around the bush. You were tense, your expression resolute. If everything was going to hell, so be it. Toji was speechless, motionless like a statue halfway through walking, both of you in the narrow hallway of his apartment. But slowly, his expression softened into a tender smile, though inside he was bursting with love, excitement, and anxiety, eager to meet his future baby. The memory seemed to be reflected in his eyes as he stared at the steaming bowl of soup. He seemed lost in thought, his gaze fixed on the bowl that reflected his stoic face. Suddenly, he realized he'd been accidentally ignoring you for a while, but when he slowly looked up, he saw you and Megumi eating. You had almost finished dinner, and he still had his plate full. He watched you, a strange glint in his eyes. At any moment, the Zenin clan could come and kill you both.
