Life had been great for Shizuo, he was the only child with a loving mother and father. His parents would spoil him, give him anything he pleased, Shizuo never had to ask twice for the stuff he wanted. His father Kichirou would sometimes even take the day off work to spend the entire day with the boy, doing whatever Shizuo wanted and when he wasn't with his father, he was with his mother Namiko. She would always take the time to read to Shizuo, play games with him, and even cook the boy whatever he liked.

Shizuo couldn't have been happier in life; that was until he had turned three, when his baby brother Kasuka was born.

A lot of problems had started to unfold after that, the two parents began to barely pay attention to their eldest child anymore, it slowly began to become all about Kasuka. But Shizuo really didn't mind because he loved his parents, he loved Kasuka and as long as his family was happy he was happy.

At age four that was when the fighting began, at first it was just about bills and money, but soon the fights began to escalate more and more each day. He could hear his mother screaming as he lied awake in his room one night, about how his father was wasting their money on alcohol.

He never understood why his father blew their money on a drink that smelt so nasty, didn't that mean the drink was nasty too? But for some reason his father was obsessed with it, even if it did make his dad act all weird, but it was all he ever drank anymore.

By age five Namiko and Kichirou began to drift slowly apart. Kichirou would work more and when he was home, Namiko would try to avoid him the best she could she just wanted to avoid all the fighting.

It slowly got to the point Kichirou barely came home and Namiko began to cry herself to sleep at night, Shizuo was too young to understand the full situation but he tried to help his mother as much as he could, he would help clean up and watch after Kasuka as well, just wanting to make his mother happy.

But all his efforts seemed to go unnoticed as his mother became more frustrated about Kichirou being gone all the time, and on Shizuo's sixth birthday was when things really began to change. He remembered it so clearly, his father had come home drunk with another women.

He would never forget that day because his father had been crying; his father never cries. But he did as he confessed to his mother that he had been cheating on her for month now, putting both his mother and the strange women in an awkward position as he also confessed that the women was already five months pregnant with his child.

That night once the fighting had stopped after what seemed like forever, his mother had packed up her stuff and left; taking Kasuka with her. Shizuo never really understood why she hadn't taken him as well, but he never found the strength to ask.

The days had slowly began to drag by, he was forced to spend time with a women who had torn their family apart. All because his father had felt too bad to leave her alone while she was pregnant, so she ended up staying with them.

Her name was Kyouko and although Shizuo hated her at first, months began to pass and the two of them began to grow closer.

Kyouko would play games with him, read him stories like his mother and father used to do, he was so happy that he didn't have to be alone while his father worked. He had someone there to help clean and cook for him, and most of all give him the attention he wanted. In the slightest it helped fill the void of his mother leaving.
