Miyuea's stepmother's face twists into absolute fury as she slaps Miyuea
"How dare you, a motherless girl, speak to me like that?!"
Miyuea doesn't respond; she quietly waits until her stepmother and Viva leave.
"I want her to go to hell."
"How long must I suffer?"
"these flowers...I wish I had gotten one for her and Viva, too."
She walks to her Closet and packs a bag.
She stuffs all her clothes and everything she owns.
The bag is barely full, even with everything she owns,
"It's barely heavy...not that I expected anything else."
She picks up the duffel bag and walks to the front door
Neither her stepmother nor her stepsister tries to stop her,
which is probably for the best.
She opens the front door, walking and walking and walking,
till she can't walk anymore.
She sees a convenience store with a "hiring" sign
She goes and asks about the sign, the cashier, a young woman nods, and
Miyuea is hired, and she starts working.
A week passes, and this is her new routine: home, work, study hub.
No time for friends, nor any need, she's fine alone, right?
But one day at school, she sees that her usual seat is taken by someone who seems to be a new student.
The person sitting in the seat is an incredibly pretty girl, almost like an actress or model,
The girl has her earphones in.
Miyuea gently nudges her shoulder,
The girl looks up at Miyuea and asks,
"Is something the matter?"
Miyuea says,
"Um, sorry, but that's my seat. Could you sit somewhere else?
The girl immediately gets up and apologizes,
"I-i see! I'm so sorry! I'm new here, and I had no idea! Please forgive me!"
Miyuea speaks,
"No, it's totally fine, just please don't do it again."
