Kokichi was a sheltered boy, never let outside of the house and he didn't have a computer or a phone so the only social interaction he got was from his parents....but he didn't like talking to them....one wrong word and.....he didn't like to think about it.....he was approaching his seventeenth birthday and the only present he wanted was to go outside. Even just once! For a split second! Even a single breath of fresh air would be a welcome friend for kokichi.....but he wouldn't dare beg.....he knew the consequences..... however he runs away on the night of his birthday despite the consequences and meets a boy named shuichi saihara....
