I bear a mask. A mask that exists to protect my family's — the Yokohama's image.
In the society, the Yokohama's were well-known for our successfulness and good-nature.
But in truth, it was a rule in our family. Even if our kindness are faked, we must live up to the Yokohama name.
This has gone on for generations, but one day, that has changed.
We, the formerly 100% perfect beings of the Yokohama, has broke down.
Ryoto Yokohama, the CEO of the Yokohama company, was a drug-addict, even though he was working together to stop drug users.
Angie Hartbraker, the beautiful foreign idol, nicknamed "The Captivating Beauty", who holds first place overseas, was actually a woman who sleeps around with countless men.
Rika Yokohama, the first daughter, who has knowledge surpassed others of the same age, turned out to be a mentally crazy girl with some weird twisted persona.
Rina Yokohama, the second daughter who has the born-talent of music and also a young idol, was a girl who cannot put up with the stress of expectations coming from others.
Well then, after father was caught in his drug-related actions, mom left the house. I guess we don't have any connections after that. I got hooked up in this otome game with a really stupid name called the "Don't Leave My Side, My Dear Love". Despite that cheesy name, it was popular for its good-looking and different love interests in an instant. I played it again and again for a whole 2 weeks, I even remembered every single detail in it.
The protagonist in the game irritates me, she was pure and kind, but just too naive in my opinion. She is the type that ends up getting stepped on by the powerful. I sound like the villain here, in fact, I prefer the antagonist, the villainess. She is more powerful, and charming in her own way. However, I just don't get why would she be so blinded as to bully the heroine for a guy? Love sure is a scary thing.
A sudden voice echoes in my mind, leading me to Rina, my sister's room. She had hung herself. Finally, I thought. I broke down into a crazy laughter, I wasn't sane anymore.
The ghost who had asked me to play with her appeared, and I agreed to it.
We danced, played, sung, until I fell.
My body froze. Consciousness fading.
Why didn't god give me a loving family and a fun life?
Just like that, my story ended.
