Hiroshima, Japan Usagiyama household
It was a cold morning. Inside the Usagiyama household was a family preparing their youngest for her first day in kindergarten. A mother, rushing upstairs to grab her camera. A father, squishing her poor daughter's chubby cheeks. A grandmother, double-checking the little girl's bunny-themed backpack. And a sister, laughing at how adorable her 6-year-old little sister is being smothered by her father.
The young girl was nervous. She couldn't stop rubbing her sweaty palms together as she remembers all the things her sister told her about school. "If you do something bad, they'll take you to a dark room and leave you there alone for hours." or "When students make mistakes, teachers grab their rulers and hit students with it!"Obviously, the little girl knew that these were false. Just mere taunts and teases.
But what she was more nervous about was making friends. She was sure that somehow, in some way, she would make friends. But what if they start teasing her- her bunny ears and tail? Rumi, her older sister, who noticed the little girl's nervousness, slowly approached the girl and crouched down to her eye level.
"Hey, [Name], calm down. Just have fun, okay?" The older girl whispered while patting her little sister's hair. [Name] stayed quiet for a few seconds before nodding her head slowly with a small 'mhm'.
"Finally! I have the camera!" Aiko, [Name]'s mother shouted, running down the stairs. She wasted no time to lift the little girl in her arms while she gave the camera to her husband. She walks outside and stays by the door, ushering everyone out with the 6-year-old still in her arms.
When everyone was finally outside, [Name] was brought back to her feet. The father ushered his wife and eldest daughter to be on both sides of the little girl, while his mother stayed behind [Name], both hands on the little girl's shoulders. Then he readies the camera and after a few seconds, gives a thumbs up.
"Come on [Name], smile! This'll be quick." The father shouted as the little girl only grumbled and crossed her arms, pouting. Her mother was quick to tickle her sides, making the little girl giggle, as her father wasted no time to take the shot.
The bright flash made the little girl blink, but nonetheless, her father was able to take a clean, nice shot. The mother then tells everyone to get inside the car quickly. Once everyone was inside the car, with [Name] in her mother's lap, her father started the car and drove towards the school.
The ride there didn't take long. Not even 10 minutes later, they've already reached their destination. With her backpack on her back and her clammy hands griping the straps, [Name] was ready to go, until her father stopped her and gave her one last hug.
