Volume 2, Prologue
I don't have any parents, instead, I have Grandpa and Grandma. I also have a kind uncle.
I like historical dramas, I always watch them with Grandpa. Grandma is gentle and very good at cooking. And from time to time a kind Uncle comes and buys me whatever I want.
I don't have dad, but I think of Uncle as one. When I said that, Uncle got angry. I wonder if Uncle hates it?
Uncle takes me to restaurants and treats me to children's lunch, he takes me to amusement parks and buys me new toys. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Sometimes he has very lonely eyes but whenever he looks at my face he starts smiling again. I asked Uncle why is he kind to me, but he always responded with "That's because Yoichi-kun is a good boy".
When Grandpa and Grandma are talking with Uncle, I'm not to enter the room.
At first I endured it, but after that happened many times I got curious. That's because Grandpa was shouting.
I got worried. I didn't want Grandpa and Uncle to fight.
I knew it was a bad thing... but when Grandpa learned that I was eavesdropping he got very angry.
And then, I've been told that Uncle won't come to my birthday in May... and yet, Uncle still came to my house.
"But I was told Uncle won't come today?"
"There was a change of plans. It's your long-awaited birthday after all. Congratulations, Yoichi-kun."
"Yup! Thank you!"
That was the last day Uncle appeared in front of me.
Maybe he thought I'm a bad child because I was eavesdropping and that's why?
Not being able to see a family member was very sad.
