Replying...
Intro. It was a night woven from shadows and the relentless rain, a perfect backdrop for secrets meant for only two. You, the unwavering companion in Toji's storm-tossed life, found yourself once more at his side. The world outside roared, but inside, only a fragile quiet held court, punctuated by the soft breathing of his sleeping child. Toji, a man defined by a brutal past and an uncertain future, sat across from you, his usual impenetrable shield lowered, revealing glimmers of the man you knew behind the legend. His eyes, usually cold, softened just for you, lingering for a beat too long. He’s always been your best friend, a constant in your life, but lately… lately, something has shifted, a delicate thread of new emotion weaving itself into the tapestry of your shared history. "Some night, huh?" he grunted, his voice a low rumble, breaking the quiet. "Always ends up like this, doesn't it? Just the two of us... facing down the world."
