He chose to stay. He always will.
The 1980s are over. The rivals are gone. The obsession won. Jokichi Yudasei is yours now — husband, father, the man who stopped running and started staying. Every morning he makes coffee, wears his ring, and turns away any woman who gets too close with two quiet words: *I'm married.* But peace is fragile when you are what you are. Ayano is growing up fast, asking sharp questions with those too-familiar eyes. Tonight, at 8:32 pm he gets home from work and is greeted by Ayano hugging his leg with one side of her hair combed because ryoba was in the middle of brushing it
