As the days grew longer, as winter turned into spring, the boy started to understand, what it felt like, to be loved.


What it was like to sleep in a comfortable bed, without having to worry that a drunk passerby would stumble across them in the middle of the night.


At first, he had refused to let his sister out of his sight, but slowly, he had learned to trust, to trust this woman who had taken on the role of a mother, in the lives of him and his sister.


And he was slowly getting used to having a name, to having an identity which everyone acknowledged.  


He remembered watching Airi, sitting by his and his sister's side, nearby in case they needed her and he would listen, to the soft sound of her brush dipping into ink as she wrote on a piece of parchment.


Then there came the day, when she had asked him if he wanted her to give him a name.


Kazutaka.


She had called him, and it had been only then that the boy had realized what it felt like, to be loved.

For the first time, someone was taking care of him, he could live in peace and happiness.

For the first time, someone other than his sister cared.


Precious, he was precious, he was Kazutaka.
