Katawa Shoujo Fan Story

Act 1: A second half uncontrolled Part 1: A civilized dispute

I wake up groggily and crawl out of bed, literally. I'm Jodie Naus and I have paraplegia, to put into better words paralysis of the lower body. I push myself into the wheelchair beside my bed, a routine I've gotten very good at if I say myself. It's a Saturday not like it matters it's still summer, well not for much longer. I quickly wheel out of my room that was put on the first floor, for obvious reasons and I wheel over to the kitchen and prepare myself some cereal not very healthy but simple to make. After devouring my meal I start to return to my room but right before I escape the world I constantly ignore by hiding in my room like somehow they know I'm avoiding them my parents call me to the living room and and I melancholically wheel my way to them and I know this will be bad they are in the typical, you screwed up or bad news sitting position with a leg across the other and a serious look and composure but for some reason I see a little something else some other emotion I can't recognize but before I can inspect further my dad speaks "Jodie..." Great he still just calls me by my name like I'm not a part if the family would it kill him to call me daughter for once, he continues "Your mother and I are noticing you're having difficulties here there aren't many ramps and accessible things that you need to get around, and we're also noticing your needing more assistance school wise and physically than anyone including us can offer..." where is this going? Mom probably would make this not sound like they're shipping me off to a hospital "...We've found a school called Yamaku Academy it offers plenty of helpful staff that will help you to do the best with what you...have" he said it the words he just said echo through my mind, for some reason I'm too infuriated to think properly and I go off in a way I wish I could stop "what I have? What I have!!" My voice begins to elate "are you saying I can't function just as well as anyone else because I don't have control of my lower body!!" I'm screaming now like a child who lost his toy and ignorantly thinks it was stolen "Please Jodie calm down it's for the best..." My dad says calmly but on edge ,but I retaliate "what's best?! How do you know what's best for me!? If you hadn't tried to bond with me as a parent I wouldn't be like this!!" I shout pouring every last bit of hate I could muster and my words did what I wanted my dad say there looking broken like he was stabbed physically but it was only emotionally, but that's twice as bad I turn without a single word and roll to my room slamming the door, I know it wasn't necessary I'm calmer now but it still felt right. I roll of up my desk and watch YouTube for the whole day, I don't want to remember what had just happened but what's said is said.
