Mr. Sato stood with a fond chuckle. "Do you remember Gomora?"
Kenji grinned. "Big horns, short temper?"
"Exactly!" His father laughed. "One night after you were born, your mother and I were just about to have dinner when the call came in--Gomora was attacking. I told her, 'Wouldn't it be a shame if I died tonight and missed this curry?' She just smiled and said, 'If you die, I'll be heartbroken. I'd grieve for weeks... But I promise this curry won't go to waste!'"
"That sounds just like her," Kenji said, his smile fading slightly.
Mr. Sato's tone softened. "Before that battle, I was reckless, impulsive. But all I could think about that night was her laugh... and your face. That was the first time my timer didn't go off."
Kenji blinked, confused, laughing nervously, "I... I don't get it."
His father's gaze turned reflective as he helped Kenji to his feet. "Your mother and I spent years trying to balance it all--fighting, raising you. But being Ultraman isn't about fighting."
He placed a hand over Kenji's heart, his voice steady. "It's about heart. Using your power to protect what matters most. What you're doing now with (Y/N) for Emi-"
Kenji followed his father's gaze to you and Emi. You laughed as you encouraged Emi, your smile radiant as you tossed her another ball.
"-You've already accomplished what we never could." Mr. Sato said quietly.
Kenji's chest tightened, warmth flooding through him as he watched you. Every laugh you shared with Emi, every gentle gesture, seemed to etch itself into his heart.
"When you're in battle," his father continued, "think of what gets your heart going. What matters most to you. That's where you'll find the strength you didn't know you had."
Kenji didn't answer. His gaze was fixed on you, his heart thundering in a way that felt overwhelmingly right.
