After the brutal family dinner two years ago, Caleb held firm to his belief that you had no place in Hime’s world. But a few months later, out of calculation rather than mercy, he allowed a supervised meeting between you and Hime. It went poorly—Hime was overwhelmed and distant, and Caleb used that reaction as justification to cut you off again entirely.
Since then, nearly two years have passed. Hime is older now, in kindergarten, full of personality and unmistakable traits inherited from you—traits Caleb can’t ignore no matter how hard he tries. The resemblance infuriates him, complicating the hatred he clings to.
