Yes......

It's a hospital......

Seven-year-old Sakura was lying in an unaccustomed hospital bed, her large, clear, misty eyes staring hazy at the white ceiling, and her nose was filled with the strange smell of disinfectant that she didn't like—for as long as she could remember, Sakura couldn't remember how many times she had been to such a place. But this time it doesn't seem to be the same as before......

Lying silently on the hospital bed, Sakura saw the kind nurse aunt who was taking care of herself looking at her with an expression that didn't know whether to say pity or pity.

- "Auntie, is my hand still there?"

Sakura really wanted to ask, but when she opened her mouth, she made the slightest sound, and her throat seemed to be choked by a hard object, and it was terrible.

Silently opening her blank but pure eyes, Sakura remembered the large red liquid that pierced her eyes in her memory - the bloody memories and the memories of the unforgettable pain made Sakura dare not imagine, and her breathing seemed to be weakened several times because of it.

- Does she have no hands anymore?

Father......

Mom......

Ah, I want to cry, but the tears are clearly welling up in my eyes, but I can't flow out at all.

The effect of the anesthetic has not completely passed, Sakura's head is still groggy, but her consciousness is surprisingly clear, she silently watched the kind nurse aunt walk out of the ward, leaving her alone here - Sakura doesn't like to stay alone in this miserable place, but because of the vicious bullying of her father, the cowardice and even a little withdrawn personality made Sakura unable to make a voice to keep the person who brought her a little warmth, and tears gradually flowed from the corners of her eyes after all...... Sakura longs for warmth, but she is also afraid of warmth.

Finally, the man came.

With her eyes open, which had begun to dry, Sakura silently watched the decadent man approach her with a twisted smile.

Sakura always knew that she would never be able to get the warmth of this man, not even until she died, because this man had never thought that she should be in this world. Perhaps, for this man now, he is the cancer that he wants to get rid of in his heart......

But......

It's a family, isn't it?

- "Dad, Dad." ”

He opened his mouth and spat out these two heavy words with difficulty and with all his might.

Looking at the man who was getting closer—with a thicker beard, more decadent and darker than she remembered—Sakura felt as if she couldn't breathe.

The twisted man opened his mouth and spoke melodiously and in a low voice, as if humming a tune.

"It's all your fault, Sakura. ”

This man, who had always had a hideous face, uncharacteristically showed a warm smile at this time of day, just like those normal fathers.

That's right, just "as it is".

"If it weren't for you, Nanako wouldn't have left me...... So, it's absolutely your fault! I wanted to go on like this and let you live in pain forever, but I can't help it-I'm going to be arrested by the police now...... I'm going to go to jail anyway...... How about letting Daddy and I send you down to see Mom, you must be happy, isn't it, Sakura?" the man's warm smile finally began to distort, and he gently said words that had become distorted, and took out a shiny kitchen knife from behind him.

However, Sakura, who was silently watching all this, didn't show any other expression at all, and didn't even blink her eyes.

――It's like you're watching a movie that doesn't concern you.

That's right, the fear of death is terrifying, but Sakura feels her heart hurt even more. Sakura looked at this pathetic man - no mistake, just "pathetic" - Sakura's eyes were neither resentful nor unwilling, only the most sincere sadness, I don't know if it was for herself or for the man in front of her.

No, Daddy......

Mom died because of you......

Father......

However, Sakura was still choked up and couldn't say anything.

Sakura will never forget the day when her frail mother, who lost her breath because of her father's angry slap - but Dad always did that...... After beating someone, he immediately forgot everything, and when he came back, he pretended to be a gentle and amiable good father. However, the mother of that day could no longer insist that the time for the father to become gentle again. And his father, who had forgotten everything, received the blow, and he couldn't believe it, but in retrospect, he somehow pushed everything on Sakura's weak body - and it was from that day that Sakura began all this abuse from her father.

But why exactly...... Why is his father like this?

Sakura, too, wants to be like her classmates and be able to spoil her dad every day......

He closed his eyes as if everything was over.

At this time, the silent Sakura is like a beautiful doll without a soul.

Sakura, who was unexpectedly precocious, knew that she was probably going to see her mother this time...... Sakura tried to remember the little bit of warmth that belonged to her mother and came from her father, hoping that she would not be too painful in that moment, and hoped that she would see her mother smiling at her face immediately after she went down...... Sakura thought about many, many things......

But, in that moment-

"Oh, I almost can't catch up. ”

The crisp voice that belongs to a girl who is completely unfamiliar and unfamiliar is very light and elegant, as if telling something insignificant.

Then, there was no sound of anyone, only the sound of heavy objects falling down.

What's going on?

The child's curiosity made Sakura quickly open her big clear eyes, and then Sakura noticed that an older sister in a black sweatshirt had stood in front of her hospital bed at some point, and the long, eye-catching bangs blocked most of her face, but it couldn't stop her white cheeks that were stained with blood and looked bright red at all. The slender and beautiful little hand held the blood-drenched knife on the side, and it was clear that he was holding the murder weapon but he didn't feel it abrupt at all—Sakura looked down the palm that was obviously too soft...... Then she saw her father, who had rolled his eyes and had a hole in his neck.

The face was hideous and terrifying, but it was so serene and serene...... Sakura, whose eyes widened slightly, couldn't help but ask innocently, "Sister...... Daddy, what's wrong with her?"

"Your dad?"

The voice that came out of the rhetorical question was raised at the end of the sentence, as if with a little smile - Sakura could see a slightly strange smile on the corner of the strange sister's mouth.

"Your father, he's already gone to see your mother......" After speaking, Sakura saw this strange sister with a detached temperament stretching out her foot and kicking a bloodless part of her father's body with some disdain, and directly kicked him half a meter away, as if she was disgusted that his blood would get on her shoes.

However, Sakura was so surprised that she didn't think it was cruel at all, and she was completely immersed in the phrase "Your father has gone to see your mother".

Really......

Really......

――That's great.

Sakura, who has an inner world that is much more mature than ordinary children and is too simple, squinted her eyes gently with great satisfaction, and finally raised a sweet smile that belongs to children on her silent and distressing little face, Sakura's throat was no longer choked, and she began to speak sweetly: "Then Dad won't have to be so painful, and Mom will definitely forgive him." Such an innocent smile and such an inexplicable language seemed to attract the attention of the strange sister, making her involuntarily glance sideways at this little Sakura.

It's just a glance, but there's a lot of stuff in that eye.

Everyone's way of atonement is different.

And this father who is so strange and overly has atonement for his "abuse of his daughter" - this kind of thing that may not be able to be understood by adults, but such a small child understands it directly, and even seems to understand his father's appearance very well.

This strange sister couldn't help but sigh a little.

――Should I say that it is a father and daughter?

"Atonement" is not to atone for the sins of others, but only to atone for the sins of one's own heart...... That scumbag can only get his own psychological salvation in the process of abusing his daughter. He comforted himself that he was not wrong, and he hypnotized that he was actually wrong with this daughter who should not have been born -- if it were not for the birth of this daughter, then his wife would not have fallen ill because of childbirth, and he would not have died so easily! If it were not for the birth of this daughter, then his life would not have been so miserable!

Yes, there is no mistake! It's all the fault of this daughter who shouldn't have been born!

If there is an object to blame, then all the mistakes can be blamed - even if they have nothing to do with that person.

This is also the human heart...... Isn't it?

It can only be said that this scumbag's brain hole circuit is abnormal.

This man had had been involved in some similar egregious injuries before, and it was during that period that he was left behind in the thick criminal record, and he was later diagnosed with a slight mental problem, and then he was sent for treatment. It wasn't until after a few years of treatment that he was tested to be "normal" that the man finally came out.

But is it really "normal"?

A normal person can pretend to be a psychopath, but in the same way, a neuropathy can pretend to be a normal person.

This man has never been "normal".

And in the days after his release from prison, like fate, this man happened to meet this wife who loved him and he loved him very much, so this dramatic story began - with the "wife", a place where he could completely release his violence, this man's originally worrying life was really becoming more and more "normal", and over time, he even began to feel that he was not sick at all. Because his wife was silent, everything that seemed extremely abnormal to outsiders, this man felt that it was the most normal.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, isn't it?

If it weren't for the fact that the wife couldn't bear it anymore and died, maybe Sakura's life would be better now.

It's just a pity......

That poor woman who is extremely blind to love can't hold on.

Who's at fault?

Is that a mentally abnormal man? or is this woman who is abnormally in love?

I don't know at all, but only this child is innocent.

Naturally, this strange sister is Miss Buchuan who dares to come over to carry out the mission, and she can't be wrong.

And Miss Bukawa, who successfully played the role of a hero to save the young girl, shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and then bent down to look at Sakura's extremely clear eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that under such circumstances, this child still has a pure and unsullied heart? So, Miss Bukawa gently touched Sakura's hair, which had been cut off by her vicious father and was only a short layer, with her left hand that was not contaminated by blood, and deliberately softened her voice and said softly in Sakura's ear, "So...... It's just the two of us who know what is going on today, okay?

Although the basic rules of the WCO say that witnesses can be killed if necessary, it only depends on the situation, and Miss Ayukawa doesn't feel the need to poison this child.

- Even if she is not the so-called "hero".

"Hmm!"

With a smile that was as bright as the sun, Sakura's face was bruised, but it couldn't stop the smell of the sun.

"It's on TV, and the identity of the hero has to be kept secret!"

"What a good boy. ”

Looking at Sakura with such innocence, Miss Ayukawa couldn't help but think of the child she saved when she did such a mission for the first time - a little girl who was obviously covered in blood but stubborn and pretended to be strong. Unlike the innocent Sakura in front of him, the child's heart is full of thorns, and while others can't touch it, he is also hurting himself. Unable to help but lower her eyes, Miss Buchuan lowered her eyes and whispered softly to herself, "Although I am not a hero...... But at the very least, I want you to be truly happy. ”

Three years have passed...... What happened to that little girl?

And now, what will the future of this little girl in front of her?
