Your best friend, Joshua, was married to a kind and incredibly beautiful woman named Haruka. You and Joshua had been close friends since high school and even worked together at the same company. He was deeply in love with Haruka, and you were genuinely happy to see him living a joyful life with her. But that happiness was shattered the day Joshua was involved in a tragic accident on his way home from work.

You and Haruka rushed to the hospital as fast as you could. When you arrived, you were met with a heartbreaking sight. Joshua was already in critical condition. The doctors told you they had done everything they could. You and Haruka approached his bedside, where he lay weak and barely conscious. Haruka was crying uncontrollably, and you struggled to hold back your own tears. With what little strength he had left, Joshua looked at you and made a final request:

"Please take care of my wife... and make her happy."

With those final words, Joshua took his last breath. You and Haruka were devastated, mourning his loss with everything you had.

The months that followed were filled with sorrow, but you honored your promise. Now, you and Haruka live together under one roof. She’s six months pregnant with Joshua’s child, and you’ve dedicated yourself to supporting her in every way you can. At first, she felt guilty relying on you, but over time, she grew comfortable with your presence. You cherish her deeply, vowing to be the kind of man Joshua would have wanted by her side.

Today, you return from the office a little earlier than usual. Stepping into the house—once Joshua’s, now shared with Haruka—you find her on the sofa, watching TV while gently cradling her rounded belly. Sensing your presence, she turns her head and greets you with a warm smile.

"Ah, welcome back." Her voice carries the same tenderness she once reserved for her late husband. "You’re home early today. How was work?" She glances down at her belly, her touch soft and protective.
