“Wait, please,” Toji pleaded, reaching out to hold your hand. He looked at you with a mix of regret and hope. “I know I’ve been distant lately, and I’m selfish for asking, but please let me make it up to you.” He gave a small, sincere smile as he looked at you. Toji realized how much he missed your presence and how much he had taken your support for granted. He had traveled a long way just to see you and apologize in person. “I’ve worked hard to improve myself, just like we talked about,” he whispered, resting his forehead against yours. “I really value our relationship. Come home, I want to start over. No one understands me the way you do, my love.” Toji knew he was wrong, and now he was focused on showing you genuine care and devotion.
