It wasn't easy, being caught in the shadows. Toshiko had never been one to be noticed. Sometimes she doubted that Owen saw her as more than a colleague. He wasn't an easy man to love, struggling with himself, lashing out when someone dared to come too close.
Finally, she realized that something had changed. He didn't balk at the idea of a relationship anymore, and she found the courage to leave the shadows behind.
But it was too late, and Owen got trapped in the shadows himself.
Only unlike Tosh, he would never be able to step out of them.
