,,Hello everyone! I am Ai Hoshino, an international idol loved by many people. I'm the center of B-Komachi from Japan but there are a lot of things people don't know about me.
My story begins after the death of my father. I was only a year old so I don't know much about him. My mother, Ayumi Hoshino, didn't want to tell me anything more about him. Until I was 8 years old, I didn't even know what my father looked like.
Every time I asked her about my dad she would turn her back on me and start yelling at me saying that I shouldn't care because he's dead.
After a while I stopped insisting, but one day when my mother went out on the town with her new boyfriend, I looked in my mother's closet for some clothes that I loved trying on.She was very stylish. She always wore a Japanese bun, she was dressed very elegantly and she was always made up and perfumed.
She always scolded me when she caught me with her things but I couldn't help myself. I wanted to be as bright as her."

-Yoshi, be careful not to catch our mommy! I'm going to try to get to that top box. They are certainly very beautiful shoes. I've never been able to get to them but now I sure will. , she says to her stuffed kitty, then climbs into a high chair and tries to sweep the box up.
He hits the box then Ai goes off balance and falls to the floor.
-Auch... Uh?😵‍💫... 😶...🤩... Ha! WE DID IT, YOSHI! 😁, then she takes the box and opens it but is surprised by what she sees inside.
What are these? 🤨

In the box were a gold wristwatch, a thick leather journal with some letters in it, and some crushed roses.In addition, she finds a secret pocket in the cover of the journal which contained some pictures of her mother and a man, one who looked very familiar to Ai.
She looked at them intently. In one it was taken at a restaurant where her mother was young and with a man. In her arms she had a bouquet of white roses and they were both smiling.In another picture they were both at a pool, in another they were at a picnic, in another they were kissing and she was pregnant and in the last one was the man with a baby in his arms.

-Father...? Yoshi, look! This man looks a lot like me. We have the same eye and the same hair as me. It even has my stars...

Her stuffed toy sits next to her as if watching her, then Ai opens the diary, takes the letters and the pictures of her father holding her and the one of her mother pregnant then puts the box back.

Tiiit! Tiiit!

That was Ai's mother honking in front of the house because their neighbor parked in her parking space again.

-JOJI! YOU PARKED IN MY SPOT AGAIN!
- This is mom... Come on Yoshi! We need to put these back together quickly, or he's going to fight us again., then he gets down from the ledge and rushes to put everything back

Meanwhile, her mother appears in the house with a tall, dark-haired and green-eyed man. He was well built and had a red spot on his neck.

-YES, I'VE GOT HOME! COME INTO THE KITCHEN! I NEED TO INTRODUCE YOU TO SOMEONE. Take a seat dear! She has to show up too.
- No rush.

"Honey...? Who else is this?", asks Ai while secretly watching the two in the living room.

-Where will this girl be?, her mother says nervously, then gets up to go after her, but that man pulls her hand and stops her.
-Leave her alone! She will come. Be patient.
- Yes, but I don't understand what this girl is doing. I swear it's like that sometimes...
- I'm here!, she says coming out from behind the wall.

- I'm here!, she says coming out from behind the wall

-It was the case. Get over here on the chair!, says her mother, pulling her hand, then there is a deafening silence until that man destroys her by coughing.

-So.. You must be Ai, right?

You just shook your head as he held his stuffed toy tightly.

-You don't talk much, huh? It's fine. I won't force you., he says with a smile then he extends his hand to meet her but she shyly extends her hand and remains silent. I'm Hodaka, your future daddy 😉.

"From that moment, everything went crazy... My mother was always indifferent to me at first, but after the appearance of my new father, she started to be more and more aggressive with me. I was punished for everything, I wasn't allowed to do anything, there were days when I wasn't allowed to eat and the punishments even amounted to beatings.
My mother used to drink alcohol before Hodaka, but after he moved into our house she started drinking with him every day. Years went by and things got worse. Not only was my mother violent with me, but Hodaka started to change towards me. He was no longer the friendly man I first knew. Before, he used to defend me, buy me toys, go to town and shorten my sentences, but now I ended up punishing him because he has changed drastically."

3 YEARS LATER

-Drive carefully, my love! , he says to Ayumi then kisses her, she leaves for work and he enters the house.

Ai was in her room. She was now 11 years old and playing on the floor with her only toy she had left; her old stuffed cat.

Knock Knock

-Come in!, Ai shouts.
-Hi honey!
-Hi..
-What are you doing here?

Ai doesn't answer her and continues to play with her toy hoping that Hodaka will leave her room faster.

-Oh, old Yoshi! You still have it 😅

Ai continues to be silent then Hodaka sits behind her and watches her manicure the cat. He was way too close and Ai was already starting to feel uncomfortable so she tried to move further forward but she couldn't get away from him as he kept coming after her.

-Why are you running? You know I won't hurt you, he tells her in a much too strange voice. After all you are my daughter.,then he hugs her from behind and Ai tries to move but can't. It's too strong...

-Hodaka... Let me go!

Don't listen to her. As much as she tried to struggle, it was in vain. He couldn't escape and he continued. From that hug, he took a hand to Ai's private parts and with one hand he was holding her tightly so that she couldn't escape. Poor Ai didn't understand what was happening, but she knew that she didn't like it. Her heart was beating out of her chest and her whole body was shaking then, when he stood up, she tried to run but he grabbed her by the hand, knocked her to the floor and raped her.

An hour later he leaves Ai's room and leaves her alone crying with her toy in her arms, her sure comfort because her mother and father were just monsters.

-Why Yoshi? 😭, Why is all this happening? What have I done? What am I doing wrong...?

Her toy just sits there helplessly watching her, but to the people around her, it's the best comfort.
