The younger Heisuke almost accidentally killed someone due to his thirst for revenge. Despite escaping death row, he still suffered a decade in prison.

After her initial plan succeeded, she finally met him!

The quiet young man was really him. Even though he didn't show it to anyone, she knew how soft and colorful his heart was; as soft as cotton candy, as colorful as the balls of yarns.

For Our Happier Path

At seven, Heisuke came with a few thermal food boxes.

After helping Shoji to arrange the new stocks at the store, Heisuke waited for another part-timer to arrive before heading home to cook.

Because of Hisaki's wrist injury, Heisuke forbade her to cook unless it was a very simple dish. He also only allowed his wife to help prepare the ingredients if he was there with her.

Seeing Hisaki sprain her already injured right wrist due to a mishap before was enough for Heisuke to be extra careful about her condition.

Heisuke entered his mother's room. His lips instantly curved up at the sight of his mother and his wife playing a board game. They sat facing each other on the single couches with a coffee table in between them.

"Aren't you tired?" Mrs. Saeki's voice was imbued with distress, staring at her son, "After eating, immediately go back ah. Don't keep being here."
