A Heart's Burdens

  After Shuuto and Shihoko Fujimiya left the turbulent encounter with Sayo, Mahiru's father, Jake, arrived, his concern etched across his face. He couldn't fathom why his wife had taken such extreme actions, and he couldn't bear to see their daughter, Mahiru, in such despair.

**Jake (worriedly, to Sayo):** Why did you do this, Sayo? What have you done to our family?

But his gaze soon fell upon his devastated daughter, and he knew he had to step in to help her.

Mahiru's world had crumbled. The revelation of Amane's supposed death left her in a deep depression, and she couldn't help but blame her mother for tearing everything apart.

**Mahiru (tearfully, to Jake and Sayo):** It's all gone, Dad... Amane... everything.

As the days passed, Mahiru discovered a life-altering secret – she was pregnant with Amane's child. The weight of this revelation was immense, and she decided to confide in her parents. Both Jake and her mother were shocked by the news.

**Mahiru (with trembling voice):** There's something I need to tell you. I'm... I'm pregnant. It's Amane's child.

**Sayo (angrily):** This is unacceptable, Mahiru! We can't have this scandal!

**Jake (calmly, but firmly):** Sayo, please. Let our daughter speak.

**Mahiru (with determination):** I love him, Dad. Amane meant everything to me, and now this child is a part of him. I can't let it go.

Sayo, however, had other plans and insisted on forcing Mahiru to undergo an abortion. It was then that Jake, with unwavering determination, stepped forward to protect his daughter.

**Jake (firmly, to Sayo):** You won't do this to our daughter. We'll take care of her and our grandchild.

With that, Mahiru made a life-changing decision. She chose to leave her mother's house with her father, Jake, determined to build a new life and raise her child away from the shadow of her mother's influence.

Years passed, and Mahiru, with the support of her father and the encouragement of her friends, Itsuki Akazawa and his girlfriend, Chitose Shirakawa, became one of the most successful businesswomen in Japan. Her strength, resilience, and unwavering love for her child had propelled her to great heights.

Despite her success, Mahiru yearned to reach out to Amane's parents, believing that her mother's actions had severed their connection. Little did she know that Shuuto and Shihoko Fujimiya were pleased that she had left her mother's house and wanted nothing more than to see her happy.

Sayo, on the other hand, remained indifferent, her wealth and power overshadowing any remorse for the pain she had caused. The echoes of her actions would resonate through the years, shaping the lives of all involved.

Where as on the other hand Amane Fujimiya, the young man who had faked his own death to protect those he loved, was no ordinary individual. He possessed hidden talents, and the world outside knew him as the "Demon of this Generation." His reputation was earned through countless battles with the gangsters sent by Mahiru's mother, Sayo.

**Gangster 1 (tauntingly, to Amane):** You think you can stand against us, kid?

**Amane (calmly):** I won't let anyone harm the ones I care about.

With astonishing grace and a fighting style that seemed almost supernatural, Amane took on each opponent, one after another. He was a force to be reckoned with, and the legend of his battles spread far and wide.

**Gangster 2 (desperately, to his friends):** We can't beat him! He's like a living legend!

Yet, as his fights raged on, he never had the chance to speak with Mahiru, the woman he loved, and who believed him to be dead.

**Amane (to himself, during a fight):** Mahiru, I wish I could tell you the truth. But I have to protect you.

As the battles intensified, Amane became known as the "First Generation Legend," an enigmatic figure feared by those who sought to harm him and those he cared for.

However, despite his legendary status, he yearned for a chance to reveal the truth to Mahiru, to hold her in his arms once more. Little did he know that their paths would cross again, and the story of their love would continue to unfold in unexpected ways.
