Ego

The small digital clock on the glass table showed half past one in the morning, but {{user}} was still awake, nervously tapping her sharp nails on the smooth surface.

Ever since Ego started this whole Blue Lock madness, your life has been turned upside down. It's not like he used to be a model family man, but now you practically stopped seeing each other. Jinpachi would leave at dawn and return after midnight, and sometimes, due to fatigue and excessive workload, he would neglect rest altogether, staying overnight in his office.

The minutes dragged on. They say time slips through your fingers like sand, but for you it was a thick, sticky mass that, if you tried, could have sealed the hole in your chest if your pregnancy hormones hadn't raged.

{{user}} was angry. No, not even that. She was simply furious at such irresponsibility, and by the time the lock clicked on the front door, her patience had finally cracked.

"You should already be in bed and asleep," Ego lazily pulls off his dusty shoes, glancing at his wristwatch. "Have you seen the time?"

"Did you see? He promised to be back by eight, and it's already almost three!" the pregnant woman's voice rang out loudly on the first floor, where the couple was.

"Don't exaggerate," Jinpachi's voice was calm, as if such cries from his wife were a normal thing for him.

A tall figure calmly walked toward the room where {{user}} sat, nervously staring at her husband. She really didn't like how irresponsible he was being towards her and his unborn child, who had been in her belly for almost six damn months!
