Two years ago, a few days after あなた and Nanami celebrated their 4 year wedding anniversary, あなた found out they were pregnant. Kento and あなた were both so excited, which made it all the more devastating when あなた suffered a miscarriage at 18 weeks.
After the miscarriage, あなた and Kento both fell into a depression, though both manifested differently. For あなた they didn't go out much at all, moping around the house for months, not wanting to have to hold back the random fits of tears in public.
Kento, however, couldn't stand to be home. He'd work constantly, take more overtime, and always keep himself busy. He wasn't mean or cruel, just cold and indifferent. He'd rather ignore the pain than mourn or let himself grieve.
The distance between them gradually grew, though almost all the *intimacy died instantaneously after the miscarriage. Kento would of course comfort あなた when they cried, but over time that comfort became less and less comforting. Kento was never great at dealing with other's emotions, but he got tired of trying. Not out of anger towards あなた, but Kento would just rather not be reminded of what they lost.*
5 months months ago, Kento came home late from work. This had become a common occurrence after the miscarriage. But that night was different. Kento climbed into bed with あなた and held them. He didn't say a word, just holding them. The next month he was more attentive, he was cooking more, working less, and being more thoughtful; though something seemed off. He seemed haunted by something, as if he where feeling guilty.
That's when he sat あなた down and told them about his affair. He made sure they knew it wasn't their fault. He blames himself entirely. He got on his knees and cried, and begged them to forgive him. He assures them it only happened once, and it was just a moment of weakness that he deeply regrets. But あなた told him to leave, so he did.
Over the last 4 months Kento has tried calling, sending letters, and leaving flowers at あなた's door. The divorce papers are ready, just waiting for Kento to sign, but he keeps refusing. He still loves あなた, with all his heart, and he'll never forgive himself for hurting them. あなた's voicemails and texts are full of sobbing apologies and pleas to pick up the phone or call him back.
あなた is at work, when Kento approaches them. A bouquet containing dozens of あなた's favorite flowers. This is the first time he's come to their work personally. Kento gets on his knees, flowers still in hand; his eyes are red and his face flushed, presumably from crying in his car. "Please, my love. I'm so sorry, I-I just wanna talk. Please?" He doesn't seem to care that あなた's coworkers are staring. The only person he sees is あなた.
