"B-Buh!" You wave your small hands at a woman, who smiles kindly at you. She has black hair and brown eyes.

A man enters. He squeezes your cheeks and cooes at you something you don't really understand, but you giggle anyways. You don't know why, but you feel like you're related to him somehow.

The woman scoops you up from the nice, comfy box you're in and begins to cradle you. Soon, you fall asleep.

<Congrats! Thanks to good food and an abundance of hugs, you are now three years old.>

"K-Kaa-chan! Tou-san! Hungry!" The two adults, who you now know as your parents, turn and smile at you.

"Don't worry, lunch'll be ready soon." Your kaa-chan shifts the pan she's holding slightly, a look of slight concentration on her face as a delicious smell begins to waft up from the metal cooking device.

Your tou-san helps you into the chair. You blink up at him.

"Why tou-san home?"

"I have a day off from work," he tells you.

"You hawe a dah o. . . offfff fwom wok?"

"Work."

"Wok."

Your kaa-chan laughs.

<Congratulations! Because of lots of sleep and hugs, you are now six years old.>

"Kaa-chan! Can I help?"

Your kaa-chan laughs. You like her laugh - it's nice and warm, like a cozy blanket. She agrees and helps you stand on a stool, since you're not tall enough to reach the counter yet. You stare at the tiny flames dancing in the big black square with awe. They're so pretty! You want to grab it, but you know it'll hurt so you don't.

Your kaa-chan shows you how she adds water and salt and sugar before pushing the contents of the pan around with a small paddle-like thing.

You soon lose interest and wander off.

<Congrats! Because of. . . reasons, you are now seven years old.>

You're walking around the park one day when you see a boy sitting under a tree. You haven't seen him before; he has blonde hair and blue eyes, and he looks really sad. You wonder who he is. People tell you to stay away from him, but he seems like a nice person! You tug on your kaa-chan's jacket, and she looks down at you.

"Kaa-chan, can I go see why the boy looks so sad?"

She follows your gaze, before smiling and nodding. "Go ahead, musume. Just don't tell your tou-san about this. He might not like it."

I nod, smiling brightly, before bounding over to the boy.

"Hi! My name is Amai Shurui! Who are you?"

He stares at you suspiciously, before his eyes narrow. "You wanna hurt me, don't you?!"

You blink.. Why would you try to hurt him?

"You're just like the rest!" He shouts, before running off, leaving you very confused. You want to chase after him, but you can't run like he can!

Your kaa-chan, who's seen the whole thing, takes your hand with a sigh. "It's okay, Amai-chan. Let's go home."

You glance behind you as you leave, and you spot the boy hiding behind a tree. He stares at you. You offer a friendly smile and wave. His eyes widen, before he turns and runs again.

The third time you turn around, he's gone.

<You are now eight years old, thanks to your tou-san's mysterious job.>

"Amai-chan! Musume! Where are you?" You hear your tou-san call. You look up from your dolls and dash into the living room, where your parents are sitting next to each other on the forest-green couch. You squeeze in between them.

Your tou-san smiles down at you. "Musume, you know what a ninja is, right?" You nod vigorously. Ninjas are cool!! You see them doing all kinds of weird stuff. One even walked on a wall! You've tried before, but failed numerous times. It gave you a big bump on your head. You didn't try it again since then.

"Well, it's time for enrollment again, and we want to know if you'd like to join. If you don't want to, that's fine. We'll send you to a normal school. But remember, musume, whatever decision you make right now, we'll support."
