[Tomomi Nagase PoV]

“Mami… why did you die?

　How am I supposed to live now?”

“Stepfather… I am….here?

　Don’t cry anymore…”

“….Tomomi… thank you…”

I think my stepfather really loved my mother.

The sadness of losing my mother therefore eroded his heart in a distorted way.

---

“Booze! We got no booze!”

“Stepfather… don’t drink any more!

　You’ll destroy your body!!

It would make Mother sad…”

“Kuu….Shut up!”

Gradually, my stepfather began to beat me.

“Stepfather….”

---

“Damn it… why Mami… why did you leave me alone!!!”

“Stepfather…I…am…here?”

I hugged my stepfather.

“Tomomi…you…look just like…your mother…Mami…”

“Eh? Is that so…?…”

That was the first time I felt my stepfather’s eyes change from looking at his daughter to looking at a woman…

He started to stare at me my body…

From that moment on, I began to feel fear for him…

---

And then… the turning point of my destiny…

“Stepfather… is he gone?”

After confirming that my stepfather was not there, I took a bath alone.

Lately…I’ve been feeling like I’m being watched…

Although I know that such a thing is not a quintessential thing, I feel that I am in danger…

So I decided to take a bath after I saw that my stepfather was not around…

“Haa…why did things turn out this way…

　He used to be… such a kind stepfather…”

Boom! Suddenly the lights went out.

“Eh? Kyaaaaaah!”

Before I knew it, my br*asts were being roughly squeezed…

I was deprived of my innocence…

When the light came on, my stepfather said

“Haahaahaa… that was good… Tomomi… from now on, I’m counting on you every day…”

And then… hell began.

Day after day… my stepfather defiled me…

That was not enough…

---

One day I came home…

I found my father and a strange middle-aged man relaxing in the living room.

When the middle-aged man saw me, he licked his lips.

“Stepfather…this man…who is he?”

“Tomomi… your stepfather… normal isn’t enough for me…

　That’s why… you know!”

“Noooooooooooooooooo!!”

Nagase-san screamed loudly.

I rubbed her back hard.

Nagase sobbed and cried…

“And every week…higu…not only at home…even in hotels…higu…

I’m sure someone saw me going into the hotel…

　So… the rumors… are true… ugh…”

There were no words…

Three months ago, I thought how unhappy I was…

But now, Nagase-san was going through something much worse…

“….My stepfather… he’s supposed to be a good man at heart…

　When mother disappeared… he was lonely… and crazy… but…

　But… if I don’t… it will break me too…”

“I don’t know how much use I’ll be to you, but…

If he has good heart… then he should know how crazy what he’s doing is…

You have to tell him how sad your mother is…

You have to tell her!”

“I’ll go with you to see your stepfather and I’ll try to convince him!”

“I can’t let an outsider like Shindo-kun do that…”

“Nagase-san…we’re already friends, aren’t we?

　And we have something in common… an experience that’s hard to talk about…

　I consider you my … my best friend…

　That’s why I want to help you!

　I can’t guarantee how much I can help you, but…”

“Shindo-kun… thank you…”

Nagase-san hugged me.

I could feel the sweet scent of Nagase-san…
