Takes place before- season 1 ep 1

If I can remember correctly it was about 2 years ago. Hard to think I was only 12 years old. Before it happened I was happy. I know I thought I was struggling but the truth is, I didn't know what struggling was until now. I had it so good.

Not to be rude, but my family had pretty terrible genes. My dad was an average looking guy. My mom, on the other hand, had the strangest bright golden thin silky hair with blueish green eyes. A very uncommon sight to see naturally in Japan. Though she looked peculiar, she was the most unique kind of beauty. The most beautiful person I've ever seen. They had my elder brother before me who had the same golden hair as my mother. A couple years later, around the time I was born, it became obvious that my brother had a noticeably low IQ. He wasn't able to do anything for himself.

I was so young. I couldn't even tell the difference between my brother and other children his age but my parents could and it put them into a deep depression. I don't blame them. I know they didn't love him any less because of his condition but knowing that your child won't have the same opportunities as others is tragic. I took it upon myself to keep care of him and act as the eldest because he couldn't. I got shamed by other kids my age for associating myself with him but that never bothered me. I knew that it wasn't my brother's fault that he was this way but it wasn't mine either. My brother may be seriously disadvantaged but anyone who bullies me for helping my brother in need is more incompetent than he is. I am a strong believer in that everything happens for a reason. I was born into this world as my brother's sister because he needed someone willing to look after him.

My younger sister was born 4 years after I was born. She was always described by others as one of the most stubborn and strong willed. She was born with the same long golden hair as me and my brother but she didn't have blue eyes. She had dark brown eyes like my father. Both my eyes and my brother's eyes were somewhat close to my mothers. Mine were more of a greenish icy blue then a blueish green and my brothers were a deep ocean blue. My sister always envied our eyes but I know that if she had our eyes she would envy something else about us. Even though she wasn't as patient or caring as me, I knew the reason she was put here was so if I died before my elder brother, she would be able to keep care of him.

A couple years after my sister was born a baby boy was brought to our door. We couldn't help but take him in even though it was very clear he wasn't related by blood. The texture of his hair was completely different from my parents and he was slightly darker than my family. All of my family were extremely pale. My younger brother was seen as a very cruel kid, I never thought he was cruel. He was just mischievous and thoughtless but he wasn't smooth brained at all. He was one of the smartest kids I knew but he just didn't think things through. Deep down inside he was the sweetest kid you would even know. He just didn't know how to express it. Once you get to know him, you would see that he has the cutest little charm about him, especially for such a young age.
