worthwhile • daniel larusso

saint shingaki had been living with her uncle ever since her parents had died in okinawa. as a little five year old, she was sent on a plane all the way to america. and ever since, she's just been going through the motions. sure, she loves her uncle, and america was alright enough. she just couldn't get rid of the tugging feeling in her chest that something was missing. it was a pain that hadn't gone away since she left okinawa.

she doesn't think there's any benefits to living in california. until she meets a new boy all the way from the east coast. he makes her finally feel like there's something worth wanting. it's a great feeling for her.

she just can't tell if he feels the same.
