The third of April 2068
Kirie was running after her mother quietly, she was 10 year old so slim for a girl in her age, she is wearing a raincoat but it was so big on her and also was old and torn with yellow rain boots but it's seems so tight on her, her shirt is dirty with old colors that seems tried to wash off more than once but no use, her pant is torn a little bit and big on her that each 2 minutes she stopped to fix it, her hair was so messy that it's seems like she couldn't fix it, the bones of her cheeks is shown a little bit, the sun still didn't rise and dismiss the clouds away, she was following her mother without saying anything, she seems tired and very hungry since she didn't eat anything when she woke up, she smiled a small smile and said with a fake hope: maybe she is going to celebrate your 10th birthday, come on Kirie think she woke you up so early to celebrate your birthday for the first time in your life
She stooped when her mother stopped, her mother turned to her, bent down, patted her head, and spoke in an empty voice that had no warmth or affection: Stay here, and I will pick you up later
Then she left her standing alone confused, but Kirie didn't do anything and kept standing in her place waiting for her mother return, after minutes she got tired so she sat on some stairs that was near and kept waiting for her mother, her clothes got wet from the rain on the stairs, she is wearing a coat hat and hiding her face, Kirie lowered her head and looked at her legs while moving them and murmured 'she would definitely return to take me', then she slept out of tiredness, she was dreaming about everything she went though her life
When she was four years old, her mother ignored her and she was trying to get her attention, when she came running to hug her and her mother pushed her away, When she was a little older and asked for some toys and things to entertain herself, her mother would respond with a harsh tone: what are you saying? What did you do to deserve toys? All you did was to ruin my body and the chance to get money from your stupid father, if you want something, then work for it; it is enough that I give you a place to sleep, clothes, and food
Kirie remember how she used to watch kids playing outside while all she do it staying inside and watch them, she was like a caged bird, when the food doesn't satisfy her hunger and ask for more she would get a yell and screams from her mother, she never learned how to write or read at all, her clothes always her mother brought from the next door neighbors, she took their old clothes that they want to throw, she never wanted to spend any penny on her except for the food that is enough to keep her alive, everything she give her is used
She is still shaking each time she remembers when she get sick an her mother be mad at her and locked her in a small room, she would get locked till she get better, she never go out except if she needed bathroom or food, her mother wasn't poor, in fact her financial situation is good, but she feels that she doesn't need to spend any of her money on something she does not need, no gifts, no candies, so sweet words, not even a hug, never, Everything she got was leftovers from her mother or people, she never got anything for herself, except her name
Kirie started to shake while crying when she woke up from her sleep, she is shaking from the cold air, she started to rub her hand and body to warm herself up, she hissed in pain when she touched her bruises that fills her body, Her mother didn't just treat her like she was nothing but she also pour all her anger on her, beating her and spat bad words to her, not a week goes by until she has been beaten two or three times, but with all this Kirie didn't get used to it until she ended up crying which makes her mother punish her even more
But Kirie always gives herself a fake hope, Her heart is white and there is not even a dark shade of black on it, thinking that one day her mother will love her and take care of her, even if it's was a bitter lie, she would do anything her mother order her to do to get her love, She cared about household matters, from cleaning to organizing it, but even after everything she did she never get something in return, but sometimes her mother wouldn't pour all her anger at her and would leave her alone, this is enough to make Kirie have a hope even if it's was a false one
The clouds began to drift away as the sun started to rise , Kirie began walking down the street, her eyes drawn to the colorful and shiny clothes, The bright pinks stood in stark contrast to the faded pink of her own clothes, She admired the drawings and paintings hanging on the walls of one of the shops, When the shop owner noticed her, he ran toward her, assuming she was a homeless child trying to steal something, She grew nervous as he rushed at her, almost shouting, when a woman stepped in and stopped him, She explained that Kirie was just a little girl her mother left her, and the woman had taken her to the police station, Kirie grew anxious, but the woman hugged her gently and entered with her, She explained what had happened , how she saw Kirie's mother leave her behind and assumed she would return quickly, that why the woman hadn't checked on her until she realized Kirie was still there , her mother had left her alone for more than five hours , Some officers examined Kirie and noticed signs of poor physical development, short stature, and visible bruises, They began asking her, which made her even more nervous, She tried to answer everything she could, and they were surprised to learn that she doesn't know how read or write, After a lengthy investigation that led to no useful results, they decided to put Kirie in one of the Italian orphanages
In her first days, she used to be always scared and nervous and not used to everything happening around her, One day, one of the orphanage caretakers approached her with warmth and calmness and asked: Little Kirie, I heard that you don't know how to read or write, Is that true?
Kirie started to shake and backed away and tried to hide behind something while the tears started to collect in her eyes, and waited for permission to fall: sorry for not reaching your expectation that you wanted me to reach
She shut her eyes tightly when the caretaker reached out her hand to Kirie, she thought she was about to be hit, But instead, she felt a gentle pat on her head, a warm hand softly stroking her hair, Tears welled up in Kirie's eyes finally got permission to fall; she wasn't used to such kindness, The cage surrounding her began to crack and wear away little by little, Kirie slowly grew accustomed to warmth, to hugs, and to eating proper portions of food, She even learned how to read and write, which sparked a passion in her for writing daily entries in her journal, When her roommate had taught her, Kirie seemed like a chick that had just hatched from its egg, beginning to discover life
Life in the orphanage wasn't bad at all for Kirie even if it was simple, one day in the orphanage when Kirie became eighteen year old, while she was cleaning the kitchen the supervisor came in and asked to meet with her, the supervisor spoke quietly while looking at Kirie with hesitancy: Listen to me, Kirie, You know very well that once you turn eighteen, you're legally considered an adult, That means you'll have to leave, find work, and live freely on your own, making your own choices, So… how do I put this
The supervisor looked at her hand and searched for the right words in her crowded mind, a words to tell Kirie, Kirie smiled and announced: I will stay and work here, not as an orphan child but as an employee of yours, if you wouldn't mind
The supervisor smiled brightly and nodded: It's an honor to have you stay with us
Working in the orphanage wasn't bad at all for Kirie, because nothing changed except for her title and where she stayed, Kirie's life since her mother left her till this day was her best times of her life, and she wishes these days last
One day at the orphanage, Kirie woke up suddenly, her eyes wide from the shouting outside, Her eyes were red from exhaustion and lack of sleep, She opened her window to see what was going on, only to find her mother yelling at one of the caretakers, without even putting on her shoes, Kirie ran outside, She was about to approach, but suddenly froze, her body trembling as memories of her mother's treatment came flooding back, She bit her lip, then suddenly bolted forward, shoving her mother forcefully and shouting: what do you think you are doing?!
Her mother stood with wide eyes while staring at Kirie, who was looking at her with fire in her eyes, Kirie held her hand tightly and started to pull her outside and spoke in a steady tone, trying to hide her fear and anxiety: You should leave, or I will call the police
Her mother smiled a wicked smile and spoke in a harsh tone while looking at Kirie with disgust: This is how you welcome your mother, you ungrateful brat!
Kirie stopped and looked at the floor, thinking a little before raising her head with a calm, confident smile and proclaiming calmly: I think you mistook me with someone else, my mother died the day I was born
Then she pushed her outside and went inside after she checked on everything, Kirie wished she had asked her why she came, but she thought to herself: If she left without an explanation, I wouldn't need any explanation for why she came back
She couldn't return to sleep again after what happened, and after what she did, she never expected that she would do that, and that she could do it. , so she rearranged her room but it didn't help, she got out her room and walked a little for some fresh air when she stopped since the orphanage door was open, she walked to the door quietly and check but no one where outside, She stepped back inside and felt a sudden sting at her neck, she started to walk cautiously toward the kitchen when she felt something is wrong, she didn't turn the light on and started to walk on her tip toes, the more she walk inside the kitchen the moor she felt something till she saw what is in front of her, her mother was sitting and her look was a mess, but what made her eyes widen and the air stuck in her throat was the sight of her mother drenched in blood, tearing apart and devouring one of the caretakers, her mouth was wide in a freak way, and her hands had transformed into monstrous claws, when Kirie stepped back she made a noise which made her mother turn at her fastly with that savage face, and launched at her
In the present
Kirie woke up from her sleep while she was showering with her sweat, she sat quietly while looking around her and saw how is Asagiri, Mizuho, Yanai and Yasuji are asleep, she sighed and started to shake hysterically, until she calmed down a little, then she threw herself on the mattress and stared at the ceiling until drowsiness overcame her, even though she never wanted to sleep
