Togami was the type of guy who was not very affectionate in general, as Kyoko could attest. Except when Kaede was born.
Kaede was Togami’s pride and joy, and while Kyoko loved Kaede with all of her being, sometimes she wished her husband would shut up.

The kids ran around in the park, playing Tag, playing in the sandbox, and those games of sort. Kaede was currently building a little sandpile, with Shuichi’s help.
“WELL, WELL, WELL! Looks like mini Togami and mini Naegi are getting along.” Ibuki teased, giving Naegi a hard nudge with her elbow. Togami let out a scoff, “Please”.
“Excuse you?” Murkuro growled, ready to tear Togami’s head off his shoulders if he insulted her little boy. “It’s just that my Kaede is superior in everyway. No commoner is worthy of her hand.” Kyoko sighed and face palmed, while several other parents seemed ready to punch Togami. Until Gundham’s evil laugh drew their attention.
“Fool! My son is the dark prince. No being in this universe is worthy enough to be his consort!” Gundham proclaimed, making a ridiculous pose. Mikan laughed nervously, as now her husband was on a tangent.
“Gundham, don’t be ridiculous. Kaede is heir of the Togami corporation. Korekiyo is the son of a Nurse and a delusional breeder”. Togami chided, pushing his glasses higher.
However, Gundham was not so easily deterred. “My progeny rises above an emperor of pathetic earthlings. He is born righteousness and strength.”
“And Kaede is a prodigy, adorable, and very kind for a child her age.”
“Are you implying my son is a lowly human?”
“Yes”
“Are you willing to risk your life over your words?”
The argument carried on much to the amusement of everyone but Kyoko, whose hand had not left her face. Kaede watched silently from the sand box, and let out a giggle. She turned to Shuichi, and said,
“Daddy can be really funny sometimes.”
