there was a point in shiori's life where everything seemed moderately okay.
key word: seemed.
it wasn't long before little shiori had woken up at the hospital with bandages all around her arms and legs, including her forehead.
the girl could barely move her hand without pain stimulating throughout her entire body.
as a nurse came in, a relieved smile was shown, much to shiori's surprise, as no one had shown her such expressions before.
except for chitose.
but six year-old shiori didn't have to ask to know where chitose was right now. her head wallowed with a mixture of pounding guilt and grief as she just laid there, helpless.
"m̶͓̖͓͕̗̦̝̈̇̿͑͘͜͠ͅȓ̴̠͙̕.̷̖̭̘̖̝̹̂͌͝ ̶͖̾̅́̐̇̀̀̀m̶̡̮͓̯͇̮͙̤̞̻̒̀̾̂ả̸͎̤̜̠̜̟̦̪͑͋́ň̶̛̗̰̣̑̑̕a̸̩̠̰̬̼͚̤̓̑ͅm̴̨̯͎̱̠͈̲̮̏ͅi̸̼͎̔, your daughter is awake", the nurse nicely informed, to which the male had feigned worry as he even had tears dripping down his wrinkly face.
"oh s̷̨͕͓̞͛̑̍̿́̇͛̽̓͠h̶̳͚̣͉͎͚͛̆͗̽͋̈͜ơ̶͉̦̩͖̺̮̥̄̐̀̃́̂̐͘͠͝s̶͎̮͓̭͆͒h̴̨̢̡͖̻̖͕̬̓͒̏̎̇͌̍̓͜͜à̵̝̳̄̅̕!! I was so scared that I was going to lose you! you're all I have after your mother...I-I...I can't believe you had ran out into the street by yourself without telling me first...", the man sobbed, to which shiori could see the nurse covering her mouth in pity from the corner of her eyes.
'fool', shiori thought, mentally scoffing at the naive nurse.
"I promise...I'll be a more attentive father from now on", the man choked out, leaning in real close as shiori could get a huge waft of her father's alcoholic mixed with cigarette breath.
"and I'll make sure that you'll grow up to be the perfect daughter", he quietly seethed, to which shiori had desperately wished that she could call for help, but her mouth refused to open.
it wasn't long before young shiori was discharged from the hospital, as she had seemed to fully recover, at least physically.
the moment the girl had stepped into the house, all the beer bottles and litter had been replaced with the smell of bleach and a normal looking home.
