After some years of R living with Mr. Gardener and Mrs. Gardner, their adoptive parents, R is now 10 years old! And their happy life the day they turned 7; their parents aren't inlove anymore, and there's always arguments.. so occasionally, R would go out after dinner to meet their friend! Shūji Tsushima. A young boy aged of 10 years old, having messy brown hair, red eyes, he lives in the town with his family, he's quite the reserved person but likes R very much.
"I don't think my mother likes me very much.." thought R as they received a slap from their dear mother "but that doesn't really matter... 'cause I don't really like her either"
Earlier:
"Dad? Have you seen Mother?" Asked the 10 y/o as they passed by the living room, looking at their father, once he shook his head they smile calmly, they had a neutral relationship with their father.. almost like a "daddie's child" as one would call it.. unlike with their Mother. She forced them to call her that, since "Mom" doesn't please her..
"Thanks dad!" They waved and he smiled, only for him to smile and look back at his TV show
"Mother?" Called R from the hallway as they stepped to paced to look for the woman, their soft socks hitting the ground
"Mother? Are you here?" They called out and peeked through their parents bedroom then approached her once noting she's there
"Mother i-" started R to talk only to be shut up by a glare from their mother
"What do you want?" Hissed the mother whilst staring down at the child with a scrutinizing look, her hand on her hip as she faced them, her ponytail waving slightly as she moved along with her bangs framing her face
"Can i go out toni--?" Said R only to be cut off by a sharp slap, sending their face arching to the side
"You?! Go out?!" She asked, only for after to laugh crazily
"You make me laugh!" She laughed hysterically while walking away, her heels clicking the floor
"..." R only looked at her figure before rubbing their cheek and walking to their room, R never cried, nor shed a tear, they never showed any kind of emotion.. really.. they were the emotionless puppet ever since taken in...
They paced to their closet and started changing, they wore a large gray t-shirt then took a black cropped pants due to them only have those with two jeans only.. they wore the trouser but ofc being careful about their plasters on their right knee × shin and the bandaged left foot.
If none of you knew, R, experiences Abuse. From their dear Mother..
After wearing everything, they grabbed a red jacket and tied it around their waist, grabbed their black boots and wore them before reaching for a plaster from their bedside drawer and covering their red cheek before quickly taking their shoulder bag then opening the window that is infront of their wooden desk, jumping up on the window sill and staring down before jumping down on the grass down the house.
After landing on their feet, they looked around before quickly pacing away from the house through the alley they often use, the alley is surrounded by darkness and bushes, so no-one could see them, the soon started running a bit fast so they'd be in time, they mentally cursed themselves to not cry, why would they let their facade drop..?
