As Himari went home , she felt devastated. For a fact , it's normal for her to feel that way as she has to deal with her alcoholic and abusive good-for-nothing brother. She also couldn't ask her mom about what was happening. Himari once thought about taking drugs as her brother forced her to do so. But she didn't want to be a burden like her brother . "It's not like I don't want to take it" she said to herself. Being a 16 year old girl in this household isn't easy. You have to take care of yourself, cook for yourself and even make money by yourself. It's not like her mom couldn't afford to take care of her but his brother himself is the biggest problem.
"Why would a man killed my father just for stupid powers? Can see emotions? What a bullshit. It's not useful at all". Her mom heard about what she was talking with herself at the front of Himari's door. "She knew it?" Her mom whispered. Her mom , Hina knocked her door to enter. "What?" Himari said. "Who were you talking too?". "Shinagami" she replied. Her mom laughed as she knew her daughter loves a manga called Deathnote. "Hi Ryuk where are you hiding?". They both laughed at the jokes. "Do you get the job you were looking for? I know I gave you too much responsibilities but I didn't ask for us to live in this hell. I love you". Himari couldn't stand and sheded tears. "But why did you lie about father's death". "I didn't lie , it's true that he died in an accident. But I can't tell you the secret about this family. You're too young for that darling" Hina replied. "Then how am I supposed to take care of this whole family when you can't even tell me about the history of this family. I am not a stranger or something why did you hide it from me" Himari replied angrily.
\*sigh\* " if you want to know so badly, you can go to the basement and open the red box under the stairs. I will give you the key next week". Ofcourse Himari feels bad because she shouted at her own mom but it's for her own good. As Hina left Himari started to lose control that she wanted to scream. She couldn't wait untill next week to get the key.
Two days passed , Himari was in school
and chilling at her own table in the classroom next to the window and wondering about the key and the box. "Which box is it? I've never seen a red box before." "Red box? " Yumeko suddenly asked. Himari was shocked . " um.. no nothing" she stuttered. "Oh okay by the way , do you want to join us playing games in the arcade?" . "Sounds fun tho... but I can't" she knew she doesn't has the money for it. "Aww why? Doing part time jobs? You're only a teenager. You don't have to make yourselfbusy as if you're a grown up adult". "It's not like I don't want to, I can't " she continued.
