Chains of Society (unedited)

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." - Robert Frost

After her brother's death, Mayu isolated herself at first, as she could not handle the loss. She started spending her teen days in middle school, but it all came more different than expected.
For years later, Mayu, now being sixteen years old, had no relations to her past self anymore. As she got to know new people, she also lost some, and as the surroundings changed, she changed, as well.
Until now, she repressed the memories of her past. In fear of remembering the sadness, she forgot anything that had to do with her brother. Yet, now it comes up again, as a tragic incident opens the veil.
A person usually tries to find a reason behind their sadness, and Mayu isn't much of a difference. She finds herself visiting her brother's grave again after a long time, and replays the story of how everything began to find the moment when she took 'the other road'.
