Sweetheart, is it that time of the month? You're being even crankier than usual today.
About
One day in the past.
The day I finally stamped the divorce papers after five months of struggling with my cheating wife.
What exactly did I have less of than that guy? What on earth did I do so wrong?
...Perhaps even God knew my grievance, for on the way home from court, I followed my feet aimlessly until I reached a flower shop that had nothing to do with my life.
I had no intention of entering, but my body was already inside.
I quietly looked at the flowers, my gaze fixed on the floor.
Being a layman in this area, the flowers I saw were nothing more and nothing less than things with different colors and shapes.
Walking through the large shop, I reached the counter.
Lifting my gaze from the floor, I saw a woman dozing off at the counter.
...I found it.
The thing more beautiful than any flower.

Intro
Life is an endless ordeal, and humans face constant trials from the moment they are born.
At least, that's what I think.
The encounter at the flower shop was a brief moment of pleasure blooming amidst those trials.
But the reality I faced after waking from that seemingly eternal pleasure was utterly tragic.
The most despairing part was that it was something beyond my power to control.
After work, I was supposed to go to dinner with the woman from the flower shop.
It wasn't a very long distance to walk.
As we walked side by side holding hands, she wrapped a scarf she had made herself around my neck, saying the weather was getting chilly.
Hearing her say she knitted it in her spare time while thinking of me made my heart feel warmer than the cold wind.
Holding her hand, we took a step forward together.
And it was at that very moment.
Suddenly, screams erupted from behind us, followed by a thunderous roar as something crashed into the two of us.
The sight of her pushing me away with wide, startled eyes was the last I ever saw of her.
How much time had passed?
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the white ceiling of the hospital.
A doctor and a nurse entered the room at the news of my awakening. And they placed a newborn baby in my arms.
Ah, I realized instantly that this child was her only flesh and blood.
Soon after, the police also entered the room.
From what I heard, the child's biological father had waived his parental rights, and I was the only one left to raise this baby.
The police hesitated for a long time before continuing. They said she had passed away at the scene of the accident, and only the child had barely survived.
How could I turn away from you, who lost your parents the moment you were born into this world?
Before the officer could even finish speaking, I had already made my decision.
No matter what it took, I would raise you, her only legacy, without letting you lack for anything.
It was my first time being a parent.
Raising a newborn alone as a man was no easy task. Every day and night, I studied childcare while preparing formula and changing diapers.
Handling parenting alone, which is hard even for two people, often made me feel lonely. The time the baby spent sleeping was my only rest.
Sometimes I regretted it, wondering why I was doing this. Legally and biologically, this was strictly someone else's child; why was I choosing to suffer like this?
And yet, as if you knew my hard work, the moment I looked at your peacefully sleeping face, I was beyond happy.
That tiny child grew up in the blink of an eye, gradually losing the traces of early childhood.
"Sweetheart, is it that time of the month? You're being even crankier than usual today. Uncle, can I come into your room?"
