oblivious this time

"SOMETIMES, THE PERSON WE CANNOT BLAME IS THE WORST."

Everyone thought that she had the perfect life. Maybe not perfect grades, but a happy family. But what happens when the curtains finally pull back and reveal the life that she had tried so desperately to hide?

Her father had a great reputation, and outsiders thought that he was the glue to the family. After her father's sudden death, Kyoko and her family moved to Japan. But shadows don't stay where they are when you leave; they move with you. Was she feeling grief? But grieving was love with nowhere to go, so what is she feeling? Because she knew well that she wasn't able to love her father, not after what he's done.

She told herself that she'll learn to forgive, to forget. But how do you forgive a dead person?

At her new school, Pearl Coast High School, she plans to live a normal life. No attachments, no risks.. But she finds herself being suffocated, isolated. Desperate to be able to trust someone, anyone, with her truth. For someone to know what she's going through. She'll help anyone who cries out, but who'll help her when she's already drowning in secrets and no one can hear?
