The third time he confessed was not long after – on an unassuming day at the beginning of their third year.
After the divorce, Chiyo's mother got an offer for a relatively well-paying job in the heart of Tokyo while her father barely managed to land a typical white-collar job a little over an hour away. He made just enough to support himself and his children. But Japanese work culture was brutal, with long grueling hours and the pretty much obligatory after-work drinking party, it didn't leave him much time to be with his kids.
That's why Chiyo came back. She couldn't move to Tokyo with her mother, knowing that she'd leave her younger sister, who was only seven at the time, to pick up the slack.
It was a lot at first, trying to juggle her school and home responsibilities. She did all of the cooking and cleaning, alongside taking care of her younger siblings. After school, she would run around like a madman, trying to make it in time to pick up her brother from kindergarten before meeting her sister at the local elementary school. But things became a lot easier during her third year, once her brother moved into first grade at the same elementary school.
So that day, just like she did for the past month or so, Chiyo headed to the elementary school to pick them up. But when she got to their usual meeting spot, her little sister was nowhere to be seen.
"Sis!" Standing under the big traffic mirror, a little boy waved at her.
"Kaito," Chiyo smiled. "How was school today?"
