When they made it to Megumi's uncle's house, the atmosphere was charged with palpable tension. His house was a temple, echoing with the solemnity of tradition and the weight of expectations. Megumi's uncle, a stern figure with a gaze that could pierce through the thickest walls, stood at the entrance, waiting to receive them.
Brin smiled when she saw Megumi's parents in the distance, their expressions welcoming despite the tension in the air. Megumi guided Brina towards them, a united front in the face of familial expectations.
"Megumi," Naobito voice boomed, the formality evident in every syllable. "It's been a while. I see you are still married to Brina, and your family is growing. A good sign for the Fushiguro legacy." Megumi nodded, acknowledging the unspoken complexities that lingered beneath the polite facade.
Brina, attempting to maintain a pleasant demeanor, greeted Naobito with a respectful bow. "It's an honor to be here, sir."
Naobito scrutinizing gaze shifted towards Brina's baby bump. "Ah, another addition to the family. Are you sure you can handle the responsibilities that come with marrying into the Zenin clan?"
Brian's eyebrows raised in confusion. "Clan? I'm sorry, what do you mean, clan?" Brina looked at Megumi with a mix of curiosity and concern. "Wow, you haven't told her? That's some love you have there," Megumi's uncle interjected with a sardonic smile.
Megumi sighed, realizing that the complexities of his family's history were resurfacing at an inopportune moment. "Your from a clan?" Megumi hesitated for a moment, the weight of tradition and family history pressing upon him. "Yes, Brina. My dad's side, the Zenin clan, has a long history tied to traditions and expectations. It's... complicated."
Brina's eyes widened, absorbing the revelation. "So, I married into a clan?" she asked, a mixture of surprise and uncertainty in her voice. Megumi nodded, glancing briefly at his uncle, who observed the unfolding scene with a stoic expression.
"I told you this would happen." Toji shook his head as he observed from a distance.
