Youjin Kinoshita's POV

Ah, summer vacation! I planned to go on a trip alone on the day after the confrontation with my family, friends and the high school principal.

Speaking of which, they were undoubtedly the worst people I had ever known. Family, friends and myself are supposed to trust each other, but I ended up being betrayed by them. And the high school principal is supposed to help the real victim like me, but she chose to believe the liar such as the student council president. Er, rather, the former student council president.

Unlike them, the landlady Hayashi-san is the only person who believes me. I thought she betrayed me by revealing where I lived to everyone, but it turned out that the people I despised, especially my former girlfriend, found where I lived on their own.

At least I was able to permanently ban them from coming back to my new home with the landlady's help and told them not to get involved with me anymore unless I initiated contact. Even then, I won't let my guard down. But it doesn't mean I cut ties with them forever unless they will mess up with me again. And technically, I gave them the second chance. Still, I won't allow them to treat me like before, as if everything is normal.

More importantly, I will never forgive them. I mean, never... at all! There's nothing wrong with refusing to forgive those people who have committed such cruel acts, especially those four girls who falsely accused me. It's not really a sin to not forgive the unforgivable. And an apology is not enough to make me feel better or to serve justice for me.

If I forgave them, they would eventually betray me again. History repeats itself! There is no other way to undo the pain of the past since the worst memories with them are deeply ingrained in my mind. I never forget their harsh actions, as long as not to think of them too much, or else I risk becoming overwhelmed with stress.

Anyway, I'm currently riding a train, heading far from my apartment. I decided to take a one-day vacation by going to the beach alone to clear my mind. The train is packed and I'm standing, wedged between people rather than sitting. Some of them are quietly gazing out of the window, while others are using their gadgets silently.

I glanced up to check out one of my drones, just to ensure it was safe. Even I had done dealing with the people I hated, I still wore a jacket with a hood and face mask to hide my identity when I went outside my aparement. At least my drones could recognize me, even my face was partially hidden, thanks to the AI.

While contemplating my plans for today, I heard a weird sound from somewhere. It sounded like a moan, but filled with fear. I turned my head and spotted a familiar girl who was slightly taller than me, with short black hair. I tilted my gaze, I noticed something unsettling. Someone's hand touched her butt. Narrowing my eyes in frustration, I realized she was being molested by a middle-aged man who looked like a salaryman.

There are many cases of molestation inside the trains, especially when it's crowded. Most girls, especially middle school, high school and college students, are the victims of molestation. And most of the culprits are middle-aged and old men. At least most molesters got caught by the witnesses and were sent to jail.
