She's pregnant.
He's gaping, outright. He has never known a pregnant person. Well, no, he has. His aunt was, once upon a time, but no one talks about that. (No one talks about anything in his family anymore, not even dad. They don't even discuss dinner).
But he's never known someone this close to him who mattered, who was pregnant and a hero and somehow no one knew. How could he not have noticed before? Then again, he had been training by himself for days because he couldn't keep a shirt on to save his life.
New superpower or not, that was just embarrassing.
She doesn't look happy, however. She looks resigned, softly accepting some inevitable, unenviable choice.
Toshinori, unwisely, doesn't ask.
Time passes before he regrets it, even though he knows why by then.
