Can we talk about this image? Can we talk about brand new first time father Sesshomaru curiously looking at his newborn daughters?
His face here is so soft, itās the one time he looks uncertain. I donāt imagine Sesshomaru has come in contact with many babies so I can see him being unsure.
While he looks uncertain he somehow also looks amazed. Like many new parents, Iām sure heās picking out the different features he recognizes as his own and the features that are Rinās. Heās likely amazed that his wife brought these children into the world, their children.
And I think thatās the most confusing part for him. These little babies are their children, his children. For a man whose name literally means āDestruction of Lifeā, how could he be attributed to bringing these small beings into the world? How could he be captivated so easily by these pups that have barely taken their first breath?
Fatherhood has thrown him for a loop, surprised him in innumerable ways, but I donāt think heād have it any other way. These children represent the love between himself and Rin, they are the good that she sees within him. Theyāre Towa and Setsuna, their daughters.
