Shadewood goodbye to my santa monica dream

@Deku

ever since the confrontation, issun avoided being near the den. it hurt, because he was desperate to see his boy but the world was against him. minori wouldn’t see him, takara moved in, and that kid was a gatekeeper. everyday he would pass by, hoping they’d be were gone. deku was the only good thing he had in this miserable place.

he was drawn to the den today, only this time the two woman were absent. the two children remained, with @Orochi fast asleep in the corner. now was the chance to see his son.

issun quietly slipped forward. a white coat glittered in the darkness. deku was still small, but there was no denying he had grown in the past few weeks. the boy’s progression made him glow with pride.

“deku.” he kept his voice to a whisper as to not wake the other sleeping child.
