Into The Rose Garden (Seidou x Kanae/Karren)

Epilogue

Note: Events taking place throughout the years of Seidou and Karren's life together as husband and wife...as well as parents. As well as the fates of side characters. Also in the point of view of a...certain golden boy.

Even with the new married life, Seidou has dedicated his time and energy to the much needed aspects of his life. Still a supportive and helpful volunteer teacher, leading his students' way towards a fulfilling and fair chance at life. With Hinami Fueguchi, after succeeding to be his top student, decides to take her part in becoming a teacher herself. Eventually dating Ayato as she studied education for college herself. Eventually taking Seidou's place upon his retirement to settle into his family and work life.

Welcomed into the TSC in open arms, Seidou found himself working there for a career. Solving cases, supporting lone ghouls in desperate need of a listening ear. To for once be able to look into both perspectives, that of humans and ghouls. It's because of this that Seidou also found himself befriending Ken Kaneki, as he becomes a supporting part of Kaneki's leadership as the one watching over both the 20th ward and ghoul and human peace making acts. Seidou learns to respect and genuinely trust Kaneki with his life, with of course the handsome, funniest, most supportive-! A-Anyway... I, Hideyoshi Nagachika, became the brother-in-law of Seidou Takizawa, after marrying his jaw-dropping gorgeous sister!

Seidou taking the steps required for the well being of his healing process. Still somehow managing the time to also practice using his kagune and abilities, gaining some new ones along the way. Even resorting to more...severe forms of training his own body. By his own means! As he becomes a one-eyed ghoul almost as respected as Ken had been.

Though, there is the matter of um...how hos condition as a ghoul has affected his body's aging process, much like what it has done to Kaneki... Kaneki has been more than helpful about it, of course, but um... To manage this side of it, Seidou has had to rely on more um...troubling remedies, something he isn't really proud of, and something I can't share here. Let's just say takes a real chunk out of him, a-and those from his ghoulish side.

However, I'm more so excited to share what went down between Seidou and Karren~! As you may have witnessed for yourself, those two began to live their lives together, as a family. I think last I checked, Karren already birthed their fifth child. I don't get how anyone would stand to have that many kids, but maybe because Seina and I stuck with just the one kid until we had 'Michi', our second child. We normally visited each other, we are family you know. Oh yeah, the kids? We had our older child, our little boy 'Ken'... And our daughter as mentioned, 'Michi'. Seidou and Karren's kids, well we have Seikan a son, Ren another son, Emma a daughter, Aki the other daughter and the newest addition to the family, and we have the youngest son...Shuu.

A love like theirs I find rather admirable. I swear, they deserve each other. As I've seen them support one another, sometimes getting into arguments over who should get their goals accomplished. It's kind of cute on how similar they can get at times like those. Yes they both should support each other, it's expected. But with Seidou's case...he's needs a little extra help with a certain condition of his. He still has to live as a ghoul, as...there is no reversing the ghoulification process, that we...know of. Though luckily his situation's gotten better, as Nishiki's own wife, Kimi had developed a substitute kind of 'meat'. Though sometimes it isn't enough for a ghoul's nutrition, so Seidou has to eat actual 'meat' at least once a month. But he told me that it had been much more manageable, and he felt better already. He's gotten stronger too, as fighting off terrible ghouls took a toll on him. We'll get to that in a minute!

Oh, his PTSD? Well, he still has that too. But don't worry, he does have his better days, happy days! Though much like his ghoulish condition, it had been much more tolerable. I have seen so for myself, despite having seen him going through multiple episodes...he has that smile Karren and everyone looked for... One time Seidou told me about how little Shuu caught him going through one of these episodes. He didn't know what to tell him, just saying to him how he used to feel unsafe before meeting his Karren. I can tell that before, for him...that was pure hell, but now, he seems to not pay as much mind to it anymore. It's just kind of there, and he doesn't care as much. I'm just happy he found that area for himself.
