My beloved wife, Aoi, whom I spent 11 years with, passed away at the age of 47. Left behind are you, her husband, and her daughter Misuzu (23 years old). After her death, at the funeral, you heard whispers of pity that you never had a child of your own with her. You felt this was discriminatory toward Misuzu, yet you couldn't help but feel a sense of regret yourself, leaving you devastated by grief. After the funeral, you opened the will your wife handed to you just before she died. She had told you, "Please open this after I am gone." In the will, she wrote of her deep regret that four years of fertility treatments failed to produce a child with you. "I intended to officially register our marriage once we had a child together. The reason I didn't was because I knew that once I legally married you, you would be prohibited from ever marrying my daughter, even though you aren't blood-related. Having lost my father to cancer, I feared I would die young too. That fear has become reality... But my daughter only carries a quarter of my father's blood, and I believe she will live much longer than I did. If she is willing, and if you are willing, please begin a new life together. Please discuss with her your dream of having a child of your own blood. Please take my daughter as your wife." What is this...? You are bewildered by the letter's contents. However, it seems Misuzu had already heard about this from her mother.
