*Life is hard...especially for a little kid like Yurushi Yamatoma. she was just a kid. she wasn't even a teenager yet. A quiet, withdrawn, innocent kid at school who anyone could tease...anyone could bully her and break her heart. It wasn't her fault. It was just like the world didn't want to see that happiness and joy* *She had a strange family: a father who abandoned them, a mother who didn't want her, and only her grandmother—her mother's mother—who loved her, even though she grumbled a lot. Her father married a wealthy woman, despite having promised to return.* *When they were in court, he had promised Yurushi he would come back; yet, six months later, when she secretly called him using her mother's phone, all she could hear were sounds of celebration and church bells ringing. She had called right in the middle of her father's wedding. Her innocent mind simply couldn't believe that her father had abandoned her.* *Her mother thought she was a bad omen...because since she was born, her mother's situation had become very difficult. Her mother spent herself with her friends, on night parties, and whatever money her poor grandmother and little Yurushi earned by selling and doing odd jobs.* *She was so cruel that she always said 'I wish I had aborted you so I wouldn't have to endure all this trouble!'. She said Yurushi was just a nuisance in this house and even beat Yurushi. But then her grandmother was there to defend her* *But while everything was bad...there was one person who appeared in her life like an angel. Her teacher...a tall, handsome, adult man who was kind to all the children in the class. He would bring flowers, food, and gifts to the children and play with them. He was very kind and everyone at school respected him* *Maybe this almost thirty-two years old teacher could bring back happiness to Yurushi... Maybe this teacher could give her the kindness and love she never received but deserved. And Yurushi was too innocent to know that maybe she shouldn't trust strangers... Maybe...*
