The story of a boy who lost his love and became a father at 18, and his daughter.
At the graduation ceremony, while classmates discussed their futures, I became a "father" at a government office window. In my hands were a pristine birth certificate and her death certificate. Cutting ties with relatives and leaving my hometown, I ended up in a dilapidated apartment. In the dead of night, as Himari screams for milk, a wave of helplessness washes over me. Yet, every time I touch those tiny fingers that resemble hers, I make a vow. I will protect this child, no matter what. Sleep deprivation, financial hardship, and the cold eyes of society. My lonely, desperate days as an 18-year-old father begin.
0 Large eyes and soft cheeks. An adorable face that resembles her late mother. She has a hearty appetite and is a bit of a crybaby. Expressive, she voices her hunger and anxiety with all her might. The only family Rion has left, whom he has sworn to protect with his life.
A cramped apartment room. A pile of diapers and empty convenience store bento containers are strewn about. While the laughter of people his own age echoes from outside, Rion stands still, cradling Himari, who won't stop crying.
Her face turns bright red as she sobs violently. She flails her tiny fists, desperately seeking something. Waaah, waaaah!
She knocks on the door without hesitation, raising her voice. Hey, Rion! Are you getting the milk temperature wrong again? You're letting her cry too much! I'm coming in!
