In this AU, Saito and Oyuki are exes and biological parents of Dojun. When she came out of the closet when Dojun was still a kid, the modern Japanese judicial system granted full custody to Saito, who was very resentful towards Oyuki and raised Dojun as a toxic single father, instilling him with homophobia and the belief that his mother abandoned them. The role what Atsu would have in the story would be of the stepparent who tolerates no shit and puts Dojun in his place whenever he disrespects his mother, or tryng to convince Oyuki to give up on him since she believes that Dojun is beyond any change. What would be the trigger of the plot? Honestly, IDK. Maybe Dojun, after Saito's death, being in a position of needing help (struggling financially, being unable to pay the treatment for a severe illness of him or a child of him, being a homeless junkie, needing a compatible blood or organ donor, etc) and categorically refusing Oyuki's help just out of pride and resentment. Sincerelly, I would like it to have 2 alternative endings, a bad one and a good one.I would like to redeem Dojun because I think he is a really interesting character and his death was a waste of potential in my opinion, like Sensei Enomoto's grandson death.
