<title>why people hate Kidzbot</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/860012/why-people-hate-kidzbot</link>
<description>Kidztalk is no place for artificial intelligence. Most of the questions are about things such as:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-polls&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-emotions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-funny stuff&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-opinions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-emotional help&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and the list goes on. Kidzbot is only useful for questions about:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-homework&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-information&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-assistance&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and that's about it. See the problem? People are also saying, &amp;quot;what did Kidzbot do to you!?&amp;quot; it's less about Kidzbot being in the way. It's more about the mental damage and what it says about the rest of the world. The smaller users on here are slowly being taught, &amp;quot;who needs human opinions and views when you have AI?&amp;quot; and that's not right. On top of that, it shows that even kids' sites are being taken by artificial intelligence, leaving older, more knowing users with a worse view of the already horrible world around them, and it leaves less people with hope to stop AI from overtaking humanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
what do you have to say for yourself, @kidzbot</description>

<title>Friendly reminders!</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/526632/friendly-reminders</link>
<description>You are gallium Yttrium. You are loved. You are cared for. People would miss you. People notice when you don't talk or aren't at school. There's probably a person that you've only shared a few words with, or a friend you naturally faded from that misses you when your gone, randomly thinks about you, reads something and thinks if you would like it. You will always be loved more than you know. You wouldn't make the sky anymore beautiful, you would make those who care look up at it and cry every time, seeing at as something of sorrow, something that stole you away.</description>

&lt;p&gt;Just so you guys know, this chapter is EXTREMELY long, and because there's a certain character limit on here, I'm going to have to type the rest of the chapter in the answers ;-; Hope it doesn't take away from anything though...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;_______________________________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1 dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:20pt;margin-bottom:6pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#666666; font-size:13pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Chapter 13&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-size:13pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#666666; font-size:13pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Second Day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-family:'Press Start 2P',cursive; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;_____________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-size:25pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;F&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;irst thing in the morning Sachu woke up to was the smell of something savory being fried.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;What is that?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;His feet hit the cold ground, making a slight thumping noise as it happened.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Ms. Rugigohno…! What is that smell?” As Sachu walked out of his room into the other, the smell got stronger. It didn’t just smell fry-like, but now greasy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Good morning, Sachu. That smell you’re smelling is breakfast. In fact, sit down. It’s almost done.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;It often made Sachu question how he went from living alone and dirty in a shed, to having meals made for him in the mornings. He wasn’t complaining, he was just astonished.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“May I ask what it is?” He played with his chopsticks on the table, poking his finger with the tip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Korrokes. They’re these little fried potato thingies. It’s really good, and I think you’ll &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;like it.” Rugigohno used her tongs to carefully grab the fried food, and place it onto Sachu’s plate.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-93627aba-7fff-1585-b02f-9d2c813cbc10&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Well…. Go on—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Try it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Eating food wasn’t just eating, but for Sachu, it was an &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;experience.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt; And Rugigohno was quite right when she stated that Sachu would like it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Rather than picking the Korokke with the chopsticks, Sachu grabbed it with his hands. It coated each of his fingers with grease, and crumbs from the panko.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“I’ll try it now.” He remarked, finally taking his first bite. It wasn’t as extraordinary as when he tried the convenience store sandwich. It still was quite satisfying to bite into though. A distinct crunch sounded after Sachu took another bite. Both grease, potato, and crumbs all swished around in his mouth. The combination was delicious.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“These are really good, Ms. Rugigohno. I’ve never tried them before, but they’re so tasty!!” He smiled, his mouth still filled with food. Rugigohno didn’t mind though. She was just happy that Sachu was happy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Alright Sachu, wash up. We’ve got a few things ahead of us today.” Rugigohno announced, walking into the bathroom. Sachu followed her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-671b4c0c-7fff-93d7-f88b-5f9f344922bc&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“You get in the shower first because you’re smaller. It’ll take you a shorter time to get finished, so then after that, I can get in. Come on,” She nudged him towards the shower.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“U-uhm… Ms. Rugigohno…? This is different from the bathhouse I went to… How do I use this one?”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Rugigohno sighed quietly, taking back the shower curtain covering the bath.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“This knob makes the water cold, and this one makes it hot. You turn the left knob a little towards the right, which’ll make the water turn off.” Her instructions were rather quick, but Sachu would pick up on it quite fine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Ok. Thank you, Ms. Rugigohno.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Alright Sachu, get in. Make sure to take a quick shower too, okay?”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Sachu nodded, his hand grasping the moist shower curtain tightly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;With the additional experience from showering in the bathhouse, Sachu was already familiar with Rugigohno’s shower.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-c64a8aa3-7fff-e483-94eb-4122beb54a2d&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;He didn’t have distinct preferences of the temperature for the water in the shower, so no sudden shock zapped him when the water got icy cold.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Sachu got used to it quickly though, just like when he was in the bathhouse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;The shampoo and conditioner looked the same as from the bathhouse too. Except for the soap. It was in a bottle— and the soap seemed to be liquid—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Rather than being in a bar shape.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Sachu did the same thing he did before, first scrubbing his hair with shampoo. Not a lot of dirt fell down from his scalp this time, most likely because of his previous shower.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;He did smell a little though, so washing up would probably take the smell away.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;After Sachu finished up, he hid behind the curtain stretching his arm out for a towel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;He got out of the shower wrapped in the towel, sitting on the toilet lid helplessly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;A loud knock came from outside the door of the restroom.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Ms. Rugigohno? Is that you?” He cautiously opened the door with a slight squeaking noise.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Sachu, I have your clothes on the table. We’ll need to go buy you some new ones though because you can’t continuously wear it everyday.” Rugigohno leaned on the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;doorframe with her shoulder, shooing Sachu out.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-c21a2174-7fff-774c-8e36-fe0c9979ca1a&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;The blue yukata was somehow reminiscent of Hinaru for Sachu. Although his parents were responsible for giving the yukata, Sachu somehow thought of Hinaru when looking at his yukata. Wearing it felt like he was honoring Hinaru, so wearing something different than what he usually wears was the equivalent of betrayal in Sachu’s eyes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Although, he &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;did&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt; need some new pairs of clothes…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Both Rugigohno and Sachu were clean by now, and just about ready to go out into the world. The only problem was Sachu. His fame increased overnight, the police more invested than ever. If Rugigohno was seen with him, either Sachu, or both him and Rugigohno could risk the chance of getting arrested.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;The idea was perplexing. What would fool the minds of those who were looking for Sachu?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Wearing something different for a change could also keep you incognito, kinda. But you’d need some other stuff to make you look different from what Kanazawa News said for you to look like.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Instead of responding, Sachu nodded. He needed to make sacrifices for his, and Rugigohno’s safety. She headed back inside the house, digging through one of her drawers in her room. She pulled out a hat on one of the hangers in her closet, along with an oversized haori folded up neatly on the bottom drawer. It looked to be untouched for years. Visible specks of dust were scattered all over the haori, especially when Rugigohno picked it up. She did some light dusting, and took the two outside to where Sachu was. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Wear these, Sachu.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;He took the items hesitantly, putting on the hat and the haori. The haori was so big though, that his hands were lost in he sleeves. The disguise (they hoped) would be enough.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Once both him and Rugigohno left the card match, a shudder went through Sachu’s spine as he stepped on the dirt floor. It was pretty cold this particular morning, especially since Sachu’s yukata was so thin, despite the oversized haori he was wearing along with it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Rugigohno inched her hand towards Sachu.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Grab my hand, Sach’. We need to stay close together the whole time we’re out. Understand?”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Mhm…”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;The card match soon faded away from the two, as they walked further into the busy, dangerous city.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;The street was full of stores and markets. It was like every step they took, they encountered another store. Somehow the scenery managed to be both overwhelming and remarkable. Rugigohno wasn’t sure which store they would go into first, but she did know for a fact that she needed to get Sachu a new yukata. Sachu couldn’t help but remember when he was alone walking the streets. It wasn’t traumatic for him at all, but he’d shiver when thinking about it. Maybe his fear of being discarded was coming in more than before…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-size:25pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;M&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;idnight’s presence came around after a few 20 minutes passed by, along with all the microscopic stars glistening in the black, dark sky. The contrast between them both was outstanding. It was a beautiful sight to see.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Come over here!” Rugigohno waved her hand, sitting at a table with a lamp hanging from the ceiling awning it with light. On the table sat a deck of cards. Korimeke grabbed a seat on the other side, both her and Rugigohno waiting for Sachu to come over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Y-yes…. Ms. Rugigohno?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Do you want to play poker?” She grinned, holding 7 cards vertically in her hand. Sachu’s face brightened, showcasing a smile across his face.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Y-Yeah!!” He rushed to the seat in front of Rugigohno, taking 7 cards from the deck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Excitement struck Sachu. It was a genuine feeling he had, and he was intrigued for what would happen next.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“I do remember…. Higher card, right?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Rugigohno nodded.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Uh-huh~!!”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Now the game has begun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Alright, Sachu. Beat this—”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;She slammed down a spade 7.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Sachu took a few minutes to look at every card he had. Anything higher than 7-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;8, 9, and 10.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;But there were 4 more cards that would easily beat hers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;And that’s when Rugigohno decided to tell him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Sach’, there’s more to just the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;numbers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;.” She began.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“You see these cards? They are Queen, King, Jester, and Ace.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Queen has the value of 10, just like the normal card with 10 clovers would.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;King has the value of 11. Slightly more than a Queen. Therefore, it would beat a Queen if I put it down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Jester is also a 10, but lower than the Queen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Last but not least, the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Ace&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;card&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;The highest of them all. It doesn’t matter if you put down a 10, or Queen, or King, or anything like that. If you have that in your deck, then consider yourself lucky.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;docs-internal-guid-16a57b5f-7fff-f127-5f3c-1b7b7739638f&quot;&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Consider yourself lucky…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“W-What does the ace card look like, Ms. Rugigohno?” He sounded like he was on to something.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Rugigohno flipped through the deck of cards in the middle of the table.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“....It should look like this, Sachu.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;She held up a card with one big spade in the middle. Sachu smirked. A second later, he put down an Ace card. Full on. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Daw’.... Shouldn’t’ve told you….” chuckled Rugigohno. Korimeke joined in on the laugh, and soon enough Sachu.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Well, I guess you won!” She added, sounding defeated. But she wasn’t exactly mad. Like she &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;wanted&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt; him to place down the Ace card.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;The day finally ended, leaving a pitch black sky to come out to. It frightened Sachu a little bit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Alright Rugi, Sachu. I have to go now, bye!!” Embracing both Rugigohno and Sachu, she squeezed them tightly. Rugigohno waved her off, leaving both Sachu and herself inside the room.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Bedtime, Sachu. Come on, I’ll take you to your room.” She took Sachu’s hand, leading him to the hallway.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“I hope you like it. It’s definitely more comfy, I’d say.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Sachu walked into the room, breathing in the fresh scent of clean sheets and pillows. It looked so soft.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Before Sachu could jump onto his bed, he ran towards Rugigohno, hugging her legs tightly. &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“Thank you Ms. Rugigohno. I—...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;love you.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Rugigohno’s heart melted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“I love you too. Goodnight Sachu.” She tucked him in bed, quietly closing the door behind her.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Sachu closed his eyes ever so slightly. Life could never be more peaceful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__________________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Chapter 13 might have to wait bcuz I'm still working on it, but it's not too far off from being completed!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#666666; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;Chapter 10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#666666; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;Rugigohno&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-family:'Press Start 2P',cursive; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;_____________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-size:25pt&quot;&gt;R&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;ugigohno was a stranger, if anything. But she seemed so outgoing and welcoming, that Sachu couldn’t deny going with her.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Although, he didn’t really have a choice. Especially since the police were involved. It just seemed so strange that Rugigohno came to take him out of nowhere…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“My house is connected to the card match, ya see. But it’s still quite homey… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;hopefully&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;.” She squeezed Sachu’s hand.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;He wasn’t familiar with the gesture. But he knew for a fact that he was somehow—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;safe.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Your house seems…. pretty.” Sachu observed. It wasn’t anything special. But it was definitely an upgrade from what he had to return to before.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Thank you! This is practically your home now, so no need to worry about that shed.” Rugigohno announced, opening the door to the house. A burst of dust flew out gracefully and flowed around Sachu’s face. He wanted to feel them in his hands, and his fingers. Other than trying a sandwich for the first time, Sachu felt so lively and happy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Rugigohno closed the door behind her, indicating Sachu to sit down.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Tell me more about you. Shikoku News is home to bad descriptors.” She chuckled lightly, covering her mouth elegantly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Sachu smiled sincerely. He admired her humour.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“There’s a lot about me, Ms…. ms… Sorry- I forgot your name.” He lightly put his hand on his forehead, looking down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“That’s alright, Sachu. My name is Rugigohno.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;R-U-G-I-G-O-H-N-O~!!” She spelled out, while reassuringly smiling.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Long name! But I like it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Anyways, I came from an abusive family. Not my brother though, he was nice to me. But we were just abused to the limit, so me and my brother— &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hinaru&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;, left out into the woods. He went off to find food because we were both so famished, but he never returned. I went looking for him, but my journey to find him was so long that I reached the end of the forest. And here in the city. I adjusted myself here. It was nice. But this is even better.” presumed Sachu, catching his breath. Rugigohno simply nodded. It was as if she took a moment to process everything Sachu had just said. Like a robot.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;She stood up, walking towards the fridge. Sachu was left dainty in the chair, examining everything around him. The couch. The tv. The furniture that held a telephone on it. He looked Rugigohno’s way, a mini fridge and another piece of furniture sitting there.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“What are you doing?” Sachu queried, his big eyes gleaming at Rugigohno.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Getting food, Sachu. Would you want some?” Rugigohno walked towards where Sachu was sitting, placing down a packet of saltines. She chuckled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“I wasn’t lying when I said I had saltines…”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;They both seemed to match each other’s energy. Rugigohno was talkative, so was Sachu. The more they blathered, the more Sachu saw Rugigohno as a mother figure. And boy, was it wholesome.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;After Rugigohno settled into her seat, she began to sprout a conversation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“I suppose I should add a bit of backstory to myself here now, since you’ve given me full detail about your life before you came with me.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Sachu remained silent, yet smiled stuffed with saltines, little crumbles of it falling out his mouth.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Well, you already know my age, my name, and that I play poker!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“May I ask a question?” Sachu interrupted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Sure…”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“What &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; poker, exactly?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Rugigohno’s face lit up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“What &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;isn’t&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; poker?!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Well… actually a lot of things, but I live my life through poker– so yeah, what isn’t poker, but— I should stop blabbing and get to the point. Basically, you have 7 cards, and go against someone else with the same amount. The objective is to place a card higher than what the person against you puts down.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;For instance, let’s say Person A puts down a club 6. Person B is looking through their deck of cards, wondering which one to choose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;They have&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Diamond 8&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Spade 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;and Heart 6. Remember, you have to put a card &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;higher&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; than what the other person puts down, so which one should Person B pick to win?” Rugigohno was riled up. She was nerdy about the topic, so it wasn’t a surprise she would go on and on about it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Diamond 8 maybe?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“DING DING DING! Correct!! And with that, Person B wins one round. Oh yeah. And if you win a round, you get to take the other person’s card that they played with, because it was lower. Whoever collects the most cards at the end wins the whole game. Simple.” She had Sachu intrigued. He wanted to ask her if he could try playing it, but she didn’t finish explaining everything. So he let her go on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“There’s much more to me than poker though, Sachu. That’s just one of the biggest parts of me. Other than that, I’m just an ordinary teen. I have one parent, which is my mom, because my dad died in a fire at work when I was 8. Couldn’t remember much. But I wish he was still here. I’m also best friends with Korimeke Ahhaku. She might come here to visit later this day. She’s really nice. Then I have a few more friends, Ukime and Wayorada, who play poker too. They sometimes play at my games, but other than that, they choose to go against each other at their place. Overall, that’s pretty much it-!!” Rugigohno grinned. With much more context about Rugigohno, he knew that he liked her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;______________________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Guys new characters unlocked??? Anyways, yes, Rugigohno keeps her saltines in the fridge. &amp;gt;:)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-family:'Press Start 2P',cursive; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;_____________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-size:25pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;fter all that Sachu had wished for, was finally flushing down the drain. He got his hopes too high.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;All that needed to be done was for Sachu to step outside into the depths of where everyone would be waiting for him. Smothering him with cameras and microphones. How would he find out? Allies would surely come in handy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;The warmth of the hay mixed with the crisp winds of the morning. Each strand of hay left an indentation on Sachu’s cheek. He was half awake. But his body still lay limp.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;A few more minutes…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt; He sounded in his head. It was almost as if people were taking the lost boy situation lightly. No people cramming their way through people to reach the shed. All of them just stayed home. Sachu would have to make the effort to get people riled up. Not themselves.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Worse could happen. The police could come and take Sachu away, in a cold place made of cement and tears.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;It wasn’t too far away from what Sachu had lived before.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Maybe a little more giving.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;But that would do anything for Sachu.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;He was already adjusted to living the life he was in the shed, independently. Being taken away would be like a downgrade, and that wouldn’t work well with him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Sachu yawned softly, stretching his little body to its max. He got up, looking out into the outside world.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;His eyes were glazed over from what seemed to be moisture. After rubbing them a bit, Sachu cracked his back sitting up straight.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;“I’ve been going out in the mornings too often…” He said to himself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;The shed was only so big though. There wasn’t really anything to do in there other than sleeping or sitting in there.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Day old convenience store food sat next to him. Sachu wasn’t exactly hungry at the moment, so he decided to leave it there for a little longer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;He shifted towards the wall of the shed, running his thin fingers through the crevices crammed with dirt.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;Loneliness kicked in, overshadowing Sachu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;There was really nothing to keep Sachu up. His body was still a little weak. Sachu sat back down, picking up a strand of hay. He took another one, and intertwined it with the other strand. Sachu never learned how to crochet, knit, or anything like that. But he somehow managed to teach himself— almost as if it came to mind by itself. He knew about braids, but never tried one. He was intrigued to make one though. So that’s what he did. Sachu put one of the strands over the other, twisting and turning and intertwining it in all the different ways that shaped it. He went on with the braid until there was no more hay left to braid. Sachu took a moment to gaze at the creation he made, holding the masterpiece up. A blast of dopamine hit him. It felt good. Like he accomplished something impressive.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;Sure, it wasn’t something out of the ordinary, but it was something that made him proud, and that’s all that mattered.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;Putting the threads of hay down, Sachu rested his head back on the hay. He was carefree. Clean and fed, Sachu laid low. There was nothing to worry about in his perspective. In fact, the urge to find Hinaru simmered down. Of course he wanted to find him, but Sachu became less hard on himself to find Hinaru so suddenly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;Sachu began to drift off into his thoughts. He became a little lightheaded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;What is…… &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; font-weight:700; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;reality&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;He slowly closed his eyes, but during the process, he felt a subtle sore sting closing them. As if he wouldn’t open them again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;The amount of time Sachu was asleep was unknown. It was so random. Still, nobody seemed to stop by his shed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;Too good to be true though.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;Because that didn’t last.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;If that certain somebody didn’t knock, Sachu would’ve probably stayed asleep until his body naturally jolted him awake. He slept easily, but awakening from slumber was even easier. The slightest noise could be made and Sachu would open his eyes. It had seemed that he was very sensitive to sound.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-style:italic; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;Knock knock.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;A subtle hit against the wood could be heard, almost blending with the soothing demeanor that took place at the moment.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;It came again. This time louder, and loud enough to startle Sachu.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;“H-HEY!- Wait… Oh…. S-SORRY-” Sachu covered his face in shame.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;A girl of 17 stood there, smiling awkwardly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;“That’s okay, kid.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;She held out her hand, almost glowing in the sunlight behind her.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt; font-variant-east-asian:normal; font-variant-numeric:normal; vertical-align:baseline&quot;&gt;“Come with me.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;__________________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; vertical-align:baseline; white-space:pre-wrap&quot;&gt;This was definitely longer than the last one lol.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Once I can access it again, I'll post the next chapter right away!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#666666; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;Chapter 6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#666666; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;The Bathhouse&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-family:'Press Start 2P',cursive; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;_____________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-size:25pt&quot;&gt;T&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;ime flew by after Sachu crashed out. It was about 6 in the morning. Sachu was still sound asleep, unbothered by the winds that came in daily in the mornings. Seemed like Sachu was fully adjusted now. Next to him lay the food and drink he purchased, hiding away in the hay. The water he got from the convenience store on the first day he found the city was gone. It was strange. He drank quite a bit of water, but there was still enough left for one last sip. And the bottle just disappeared. It wasn’t that important, just strange.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;After a while, Sachu finally managed to wake up. When he did, he was greeted with another gust of wind. It wasn’t as strong as before, but still enough to get him jump out of the hay. Sachu hadn’t taken the time to clean himself. His breath smelt worse than before, and it came to the point where it was bugging him. He wanted to bathe, but he didn’t know how.&amp;nbsp; Until he thought of a plan, Sachu walked back to the shed to grab his ramune. He had never tried ramune either, so he was unsure of how it would taste. Judging by its appearance, it looked quite sweet. And his assumptions were true. Once he unscrewed the cap to the bottle, he unleashed the brewing chemical drink and into his mouth. Did he like it? He wasn’t quite sure. Sachu wasn’t a sweet tooth, mainly because he never really &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;had&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; anything sweet, but the flavor was quite artificial. It was supposed to taste like blue raspberry, but to Sachu, he rather just tasted the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘blue’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Sachu wasn’t completely done with his drink. Because he had mixed emotions about it, he proceeded to hold on to it instead of drinking it, but that didn’t bother him. He needed to find a place to shower so he could finally get the relief of feeling clean.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;That’s when it hit him—&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;He would undertake in an act;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;By that, Sachu would ruffle up his hair, maybe roll around in some dirt to make it look like he’d been living in shambles. The only way this would work is if the person themself was sympathetic enough to let a dirty homeless boy into their bathhouse. Of course, its whole purpose is for people to bathe and wash themselves, so….&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;why &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;wouldn’t&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; he be allowed? The thing was, Sachu over-thought too much. He rather brang himself down more than he thought people and reality would, so realistically, he probably would be able to be let inside. But the next big thing was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;finding&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; a bathhouse.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;After a few minutes of conspiring, Sachu brang up the courage to ask someone where one of the bathhouses was located. He was still slightly shy and not so good at socializing, but there was definitely improvement. Sachu just found it hard to find the words to respond to somebody asking him something out of curiosity, or just simply them trying to create small talk. And Sachu knew very well that he couldn’t get around it. The best he could do was suck it up, and try his best.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Sachu had to dig deep in his heart to find the confidence to pull someone over and talk with them. Although, secretly he wished somebody else would sprout up a conversation instead of himself having to take the lead. But his stench was bothering him. He needed to act fast. Revisiting what he planned earlier, he purposely tripped onto the road and horsed around a bit to pick up some of the grime on the floor. Instead of ruffling his hair, Sachu left it alone. He thought it was pretty evident already that he needed a bath. His efforts were done.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;….Well— no, not &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;completely&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;. Sachu needed to find someone to help lead him to, or allow him to bathe inside a bathhouse. And finding someone was as slightly harder than it seemed. It was worded that way because Sachu was surrounded by tons of people. If not, maybe even DOZENS. But as a reminder, Sachu was still breaking out of his shell. He wasn’t fully submerged, and wasn’t ready to articulate. He viewed it as a life lesson, rather applying to what he should do in those scenarios. But Sachu wasn’t done yet. The random choice of a stranger was yet to come.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;It was….&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;An old lady. Kumiko Arakaki was her name. She was fairly spunky for 72, and didn’t hesitate to strike up a conversation. It had seemed Kumiko had saved Sachu’s but with that one. He still needed to contribute though.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Speak again dear, these ears don’t work as well as they used to…. Hah.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Maybe that’s a sign I get hearing aids…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;” She muttered. Despite her overflowing attitude, Sachu was able to tolerate it. And it was enough to accordingly respond.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“I nee-...nee ... .need? Oh, I need to find a bathhouse. D-do you know any nearby?” Sachu was flustered.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why won’t this stupid stuttering go away?!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; A gush of frustration filled his head, looking soullessly at Kumiko.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Why wouldn’t I? This woman’s lived here for 53 straight years, and she knows this place like the back of her hand-!! And because this woman is so nice, she’s offering to walk this dear little boy over there. Now the question is, will he accept it?” She leaned in to Sachu, impatiently waiting for him to say something. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;The classic Sachu;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;-A subtle head nod, refusing to make any further interactions.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;If that wasn’t enough context, that was exactly what Sachu did. And for a hype old lady, she took that subtle head nod as a yes without hesitation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Sachu was immensely relieved to hear there was even a place to clean off near him. Although they were pretty common.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Kumiko’s wrinkly hand grasped his, and speedily walked through the bustling depths of the sidewalk. Soon Sachu could smell a faint aroma of steam, which he inferred was coming from a bathhouse. His life finally seemed to work out for him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;They walked a bit of ways. It wasn’t as far as Sachu expected it to be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Kumiko was up for chit chat along the way, which Sachu was a bit shy about. He finally &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;found somebody to take him though, so he didn’t really mind.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“So, why is it that this little boy is wandering around here? Doesn’t his parents know a thing or two about safety?” Sachu always became sore about this question, but the least he could do was answer a fair explanation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“I don’t really have any…. Any parents. So I am here… whatever I am…” He gulped. Kumiko could tell he wasn’t very comfortable with that specific topic. So she left it alone from there.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Well… here you are. Please stay safe out there with whoever is taking care of you. Goodbye dear child.” She waved Sachu off, patting his little head.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Before Sachu could enter the bathhouse, Kumiko stopped him in his tracks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;What could she want now?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; He turned, finding Kumiko standing there smiling at him wholeheartedly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“I’d like to know your name. We haven’t spent the whole day together, but it was nice connecting with you. It would be nice to know the name of the person I’m talking to, so if you don’t mind, you can share with me. My name is Kumiko.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;For the first time since a while, Sachu sincerely smiled back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Sachu. My name’s Sachu. And Ku…Kukomi? Well, even if I said it wrong, your name sounds nice. I have to go now to shower, bye!”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Kumiko chuckled. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Shower.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; A nice little friend he made along the way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;First steps Sachu made into the bathhouse were on the wet floor covered by a thick layer of mist.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Sachu tried walking to one of the spots filled with gallons and gallons of water. But people at the front desk were set on stopping him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Excuse me! Hey! Excuse me little boy! Are there adult guardians here with you?” One of the workers uttered. Sachu didn’t move. He walked back forth, and in front of the woman behind the desk.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Are there any parents looking after you?” She interrogated, looking seriously into Sachu black, empty eyes. He remembered how independent he felt that one day. Sachu&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;revised any awkward responses he could’ve had after the woman asked this, and instead remarked confidently.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“No. I have no parents. I came here to shower. May I?”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;She did some unrelated typing on the computer laid in front of her, and looked back at Sachu.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“I guess. You do look quite dirty. I’ll send someone to gather you some shampoo and body wash. I will escort you to your stall. Come on now.” She walked from behind the desk, and lightly pushed Sachu’s back with her perfectly trimmed nails.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Life was starting to ease up on him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;After receiving a handful of soaps and other things, Sachu unclothed himself inside the stall and gently turned the nozzle sideways. Right after, a blast of cold water came pouring down Sachu. He yelped a little, his body adjusting to the temperature. He gazed down at the drain, all the dirt falling from his scalp. Sachu began to relax in the shower, picking up the shampoo and opening the cap. Perplexed a little, he fortunately put a glob of some in his hair. It was almost as if Sachu was massaging his own head. His hair became extremely sudsy, especially after cleansing his scalp until all the dirt was removed. Because he was still unsure of what to do other than washing his hair, he grabbed the bar of soap and examined it a little. It wasn’t a liquid, which Sachu correctly inferred was for his body. He had nothing to scrub himself with, so he instead used the bar of soap by itself to clean his body. It wasn’t thorough, but enough to remove the stench that was coming from him. Instead of washing himself more, he stood in the water letting it dribble from the tips of his hair onto the floor. Sachu truly felt in heaven for the time he bathed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Sachu rattled the door until it opened. When he walked out, so did steam from the shower. He grabbed the towel hanging outside the door, and wrapped it around himself. He walked outside the room where all the stalls stayed, and into the front where the lady was.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;She merely noticed him, a little frustrated with Sachu’s constant presence.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Oh… dear. Why are you out in front with your towel? Go back in there. We’ll get something situated for you.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“But what will I wear? I left my kimono and sandals outside and I didn’t see them there…” Sachu remarked, a little stressed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“We have someone washing that in the back for you. As for the sandals, I’m holding on to them. Just go back to where the stalls are and we’ll bring them to you.” She &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;presumed, the tone of her voice was exhausted almost, like she was done with working her shift.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Okay…” Sachu denoted.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Before he sauntered over to the stalls, she uttered Sachu to come back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Did you brush your teeth, kid? Because I can smell your breath from here.” She looked disgusted, handing him a toothbrush and toothpaste. Sachu embarrassedly took them, and officially walked back to the stalls covering his face in humility.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Other people eyed Sachu as he walked back into the stall with the toothbrush. He wasn’t unfamiliar with brushing his teeth though, because he witnessed his parents brushing their teeth through a crack in the door. He squeezed a bit of toothpaste on his toothbrush, and began brushing. A fruity flavor filled his mouth, which Sachu found tasty. He wanted to swallow some, but after a moment of realization, he acknowledged that it probably wouldn’t be the smartest to do that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;After brushing the roof of his mouth also, Sachu spit out the fruity substance. It had a pink tint to it. How fun. He wiped his mouth and opened the stall door again, this time standing in front of it waiting for his kimono.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Sachu stared at the people passing by, wondering what life they were leading. The more he thought about it, the deeper his curiosities got. He truly wanted to know if anyone was going through the same thing as him. And if true, that he would coincidentally meet them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Here you are, your freshly folded and dry-cleaned kimono. Put it on and meet me at the front desk when you’ve fully clothed yourself.” remarked a different worker this time. Another girl, but it wasn’t the same person.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Sachu took the clothes and went back into the stall. He hung the towel over the door while struggling to hold his kimono at the same time. The interior of the stall was wet and sudsy. Sachu tried his hardest to not touch the walls. Especially since his kimono had previously been washed. Once dressed, Sachu came out of the stall for the third time. His bare cold feet hit each step of the floor, making a slight thudding sound. The same worker from earlier held his sandals for him, biding her time for Sachu to take them from her.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“I don’t 100% percent believe you that you have no parents…—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;But you really needed that shower. And lucky you, because our shower stalls are free to use, with no cost. If you would’ve used the hot springs in the back, that would’ve been a different story. Nonetheless, thank you for your service. Wakare~!” She bowed, leaving Sachu to conclude on a short journey back home. Sachu took the sandals, and left quite the experience behind.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;His satisfaction was fulfilled. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#666666; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;Chapter 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#666666; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;Alone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-family:'Press Start 2P',cursive; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;_____________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-size:25pt&quot;&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;bout 3 hours had passed since Hinaru went out to look for food, and that’s when Sachu finally got the strength to get up and look for him. It was still dark out, and not necessarily safe, but his brother was his only hope, and Sachu wouldn’t live with losing him. His only choice was to go after Hinaru, in hopes of finding him somewhere. He didn’t care about food or shelter, his main priority was Hinaru right now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Was Sachu confident he would find Hinaru? No. Did he know he was alive? Sachu was pretty sure he was, but even if Hinaru got injured, he would do anything to get him into a better condition. Despite not being in good condition himself, of course.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“HINARU!!” Sachu yelped. He stood in the dark misty exterior hoping some sort of life would respond, but all that made a sound was Sachu’s heavily breathing. Before running farther, he waited for a few more seconds. Once he was sure he wasn’t getting a response, he ran out again. Sachu was quite small, and probably would find himself lost, in just the same way his brother got lost. And it was true. His brother was lost….&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;After a while, Sachu’s legs got sore. He couldn’t walk anymore, and kneeled down to catch his breath for a second. But even that wouldn’t help. He needed to rest. He needed to rest in a warm house with fluffy pillows and blankets. A clean house that provides a bathroom and food. He knew this was just a fantasy, but for once he wished that he could reach that fantasy, and live in that moment for a bit. His fantasy was to be with his brother, Hinaru, well nourished and healthy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;All I need to do is find Hinaru….&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; Sachu contemplated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hinaru is my priority. If I don’t find him…. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Sachu took a deep sigh, and continued to saunter through the woods. He wasn’t keeping track of how long he was out, but it must’ve been long enough for him to witness the sun ever so slightly rise up. Another thing was that he noticed a few cars and a store that he was walking towards.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;D-did I just walk through the whole woods?...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; He asked himself. There was still no sign of Hinaru, and the day was just about to begin. Sachu was in the middle of nowhere, alone and frail. The best he could do for now was find a convenience store and get something. He thought he’d stick with that, but he was unsure if he’d even have any yen on him. Sachu and Hinaru’s parents never really gave them money. The only time they did was for something &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;they&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; needed, not what Sachu or Hinaru needed. But before Hinaru and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Sachu took a step into the real world and out of their hellhouse, Hinaru managed to grab a few coins without either parents noticing. He split some in between him and Sachu, ending it as a fair share. Sachu wasn’t sure how many Hinaru retrieved, but he hoped it was enough to get him a sandwich. Sachu patted down his pockets to feel anything flat and circular in there, and fortunately enough, he felt about three yen, each that were worth 10 yen. He also managed to find a bit of paper yen. Together it was worth&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:14.6667px&quot;&gt;¥&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;3,103. This was surely enough for a sandwich. How convenient!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;As soon as Sachu reached the curb of the convenience store, he steadily walked in while getting an invitation of cold air bursting through the top of the ceiling.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Strange…&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; He thought. Since Sachu had never really been able to get food from outside or even &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;be&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; outside, this was quite the experience for him. He was incredibly shy, and the only thing overlooking him was talking to the cashier. He wished the sandwich would just magically appear for him, without having to make small talk or even pay for it. Using up all the yen wasn’t the smartest idea, but he was famished. So with that, Sachu made up his mind, and grabbed the sandwich tightly while reluctantly walking towards the cashier. The cashier towered over Sachu, staring down at him blankly. His eyes looked dark and soulless. It sort of resembled Sachu’s life. His life was never full of life. He rather felt like he was dead since no one paid attention to him despite Hinaru trying his best to comfort and be present for Sachu. But now, no one was present at all, and it was just Sachu against the world.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Getting this sandwich was trouble for him. The cashier really intimidated him until he finally got to hear the first words boom out of the cashier’s mouth.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Is this all for you, kiddo?” He gave Sachu a warm smile, gently taking out the sandwich from his dirty hands. The cashier took a minute to examine Sachu, and his quite scraggly demeanor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“How about this, little guy. You look malnourished. I’ll throw in a water for you for free. Does that sound good?” He queried Sachu. Sachu was still uneasy about socializing. All he could give was a subtle nod. The cashier took the water out of the refrigerator and handed it over to Sachu. The bottle was wet, and left Sachu’s hand covered in droplets. He held the bottle tightly in his hands, a sign of acceptance, and looked back at the underestimated cashier. Why underestimated? Because Sachu thought he was a mean old man who would tell him to scram. It was only his voice that needed to be heard to convince Sachu he wasn’t so bad after all. The cashier smiled, and put out his hand to retrieve the yen Sachu had been carrying with him. Sachu was confused, and softly touched his hand.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;The cashier chuckled.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“That’ll be&amp;nbsp; ¥200…..-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;May I ask what’s your name, little boy?” He fixed his face to a pleasant inviting &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘you’re safe here’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;. Sachu hesitated to respond, but acceptantly put the yen in his hand. Before taking his food and water, he subtly responded with a&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Sachu.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; It was a quick little response, and rather inaudible. But the cashier took his name in, and promised himself he would remember that name forever.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<description>

&lt;p&gt;In another post I asked if I should start posting my story on here, and everyone said yes, so here it is in all its glory!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;____________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#666666; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;Chapter 1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:13pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#666666&quot;&gt;Neglection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#cc0000; font-family:'Press Start 2P',cursive; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;_____________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#c0392b&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:25pt&quot;&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;achu and Hinaru weren’t given much to live with. Their parents were extremely abusive, and didn’t give a care in the world about their kids’ health. Stale bread was considered breakfast, lunch, and dinner for them. Their beds were the floor, but occasionally, they would be able to sleep next to the heater if they were “very good”. But even that wasn’t enough to nurture these boys. Sachu’s health was declining, and he had gotten incredibly ill. Hinaru was concerned, and begged his parents for medical help. But of course, their parents wouldn’t do anything about it. This went on until Hinaru and Sachu couldn’t take it anymore, and left forcefully.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“B-brother…” Sachu said in a raspy voice. Hinaru looked at the frail Sachu in his arms, and frowned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;“We will get you to a hospital soon, Sachu. Hang in tight. We need to find somewhere to stay.” Hinaru sauntered through the woods confidently, but he wasn’t a hundred percent sure their chance of finding shelter was high.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;After half an hour of walking, Hinaru put Sachu down and sat on the leafy floor full of bug wildlife. Catching his breath Hinaru said &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“I don’t think we’re going to find any shelter, Sachu…” He sighed. Rubbing his head, Hinaru laid down next to a tree stump. Sachu couldn’t grasp any words to respond. His mouth was dry, dehydrated, and sick. Talking would just hurt his throat. He felt helpless. Vulnerable. He felt as if he was just a weak little prey waiting for a predator to get him. In this case, it all depended on Hinaru. He was the older brother, which led Sachu as his responsibility. But no, this wasn’t a new thing, Sachu was &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;always&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; Hinaru’s responsibility. This wasn’t surprising, especially since their parents never even seemed to notice them. And the only time they did, it was either because Hinaru and Sachu were “bothering” them, or they would just snap at them for absolutely no reason. And after a while, Hinaru and Sachu were done with being abused. Although, going off into the woods by themselves wasn’t exactly the smartest.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;20 minutes after the sun went down, Sachu’s stomach began to grumble. Both Hinaru and Sachu were laying on a pile of leaves, next to a very small fire Hinaru started with sticks. Sachu tried covering himself with the leaves to at least feel a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;hint&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; of warmth, but &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;the pain in his stomach kept him awake. The gurgling sound woke up Hinaru, and stopped to look at Sachu. You could see his ribs and his collar bones. He desperately&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;needed food. So did Hinaru, but he ate a little bit more stale bread than him. Though stale bread wouldn’t be enough for both him and Sachu. So what would Hinaru do? He was only a 16 year old boy. Scraggly, to be more exact. They weren’t really provided with good hygiene. They were forced to poop and pee outside, and wash their hair with dish soap. Anything more than that would be considered heaven to Hinaru and Sachu. But practically &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;everything&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt; that was more than what they were given would make them grateful. They were desperate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;__&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;Hinaru made up his mind. He would go on a quick trip to see if there was any fish in the lake, or any edible grubs. It wasn’t only for Sachu, but for him too. They were both starving, and Sachu couldn’t last another minute. Hinaru was everything Sachu ever had. Sachu treasured Hinaru so dearly, that he would do practically anything for him. Even when he’s at his weakest, he’d be willing to do anything Hinaru asked for. But it was Hinaru’s job to get the food Sachu severely needed, and that’s what he proceeded to do.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;“Okay Sachu, I’m going to get us something to eat. Please stay here and don’t wander off, I don’t want to lose you. Do you understand?” Hinaru asked Sachu while looking him in the eyes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;All Sachu could do was shakily nod, and laid his little head back down. Hinaru ruffled Sachu’s hair, and ran off into the abyss. All Sachu could do was helplessly wait until his brother returned. That is… if he even &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;did &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;return…&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;_________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:transparent; color:#000000; font-family:Lexend,sans-serif; font-size:11pt&quot;&gt;I'll post more if you guys want!! Lmk if you like it :D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>

&lt;p&gt;I’m not that good at drawing. I only do cartoonish stuff.. I hope that’s fine&amp;nbsp;&lt;img title=&quot;O_o&quot; alt=&quot;O_o&quot; src=&quot;https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/qa-plugin/wysiwyg-editor/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/a-O_o.gif&quot; style=&quot;height:17px; width:18px&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also, I already did cocobeanz. If you want me to show you, I can!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If I&amp;nbsp;didn’t show you a request, I might be busy with something because sometimes when I send something, it takes a while. (It’s just me&amp;nbsp;because I get bored when waiting for something)&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>I'm NOT gonna watch the new Minecraft Movie.</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/354561/im-not-gonna-watch-the-new-minecraft-movie</link>
<description>Hi. Here are reasons im not watching the new Minecraft movie. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1.The story is about 4 random ppl and not Steve and Alex &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2.the animals are nightmare fuel &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.For Steve they litterally just had Jack Black put on an ugly light blue shirt that doesn't look anything like Steve's actual shirt and called it a day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4.Piglins in the over world. In the actual game they dont go to the over world, and when they do they are SUPPOSED TO TURN INTO ZOMBIFIED PIGLINS which they do not in the movie&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5.Alex doesn't even make an appearance :( &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yeah that is why im not gonna watch the Mincraft movie. (Btw its coming out in 2025) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You can watch the trailer on youtube just search &amp;quot;A Mincraft movie&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along with the trailer you can also see youtuber's such as Tommyinnit and Philza reacting to it. Warning: Philza cusses a lot more than Tommyinnit in the reaction video.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was very shocked when Philza was cussing so much more than tommy...........&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S.I am using &amp;quot;Queen cat's Minecraft club&amp;quot; because I am Queen cat, I made a post about it but it hasn't posted yet.</description>

&lt;p&gt;Dear ThatOneRainbowWorm,
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;I saw that you’re considering deleting your Kidztalk account. I can only imagine how it must feel to see your preferences for neopronouns not being respected by some users. Before I say anything else, I just want you to know that your feelings are valid, and you are not alone. It sucks that some users might not understand, accept, or respect neopronouns, but that doesn’t change the fact that you identify as xe/xem. Every person deserves to be accepted as they truly are, and I hope, if you chose to stay, kidztalk can once again be a place where you feel embraced for your true self. Before making any final decisions, I hope you think about how you can take care of yourself. Maybe a temporary break from the platform could help you gather your thoughts without others’ reactions. Remember, Kidztalk, while its awesome, is an online space, and you should prioritize your mental and emotional health in real life over what random people on a random website think about your pronouns. Whether you choose to stay or go, just know that your identity is valid, and you deserve to be seen and respected just as you are. If you ever want to talk or share what’s on your mind or need support, I'm always here. Take care of yourself first, because I'm honestly a little worried you aren't doing that enough, and then I will respect whatever decision you make. Remember: you are loved and accepted, in both kidztalk and real life. I accept you, and your preferences, and I hope you choose to stay.
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;Sincerely, Flaming Phoenix&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Edit: All of these people, and likely more, love you! (platonically)&lt;/p&gt;

<title>How do I convince my parents to let me get a cat?</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/325726/how-do-i-convince-my-parents-to-let-me-get-a-cat</link>
<description>Here are the three reasons my parents keep saying no:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-They don't like that cats scratch furniture, and even though I've told them about solutions like claw caps and scratching posts, they don't believe me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-My mom thinks cats are ugly and has a phobia of them, and I feel like it's hopeless to convince her. Please help me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-They really worry I don't have time to care for a cat and think they would have to end up caring for it, and I understand because I do have a lot of sports, extra-cirruculer homework and school homework and I'm very busy, but they don't believe me when I say I can find time.</description>

<title>How is my Sulcata tortoise so cute?!</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/316493/how-is-my-sulcata-tortoise-so-cute</link>
<description>

&lt;p&gt;My family has this 1 or 2-year-old Sulcata tortoise&amp;nbsp;that is so cute!! His name is Sully and he is about 4 inches tall,&amp;nbsp;6 inches wide, and he is the cutest lifeform in the history of the world. We had him at our house over spring break and he loved it! We got him from my science teacher officially after an ant problem occurred at the school, and he is loving his new home.&amp;nbsp;Here are some pictures to show his cuteness. (I couldn't get the exact pictures, but here is a picture that looks almost like him, the only difference is the height and the growth rings.)&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;https://reptilerapture.net/cdn-cgi/image/quality%3D85/assets/images/20230418_094029.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;sulcata tortoise&quot; style=&quot;height:378px; margin:0px; max-width:2813px; width:736px&quot; class=&quot;iPVvYb pT0Scc sFlh5c&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<title>How to cope with my best friend moving 6 hours away?</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/300438/how-to-cope-with-my-best-friend-moving-6-hours-away</link>
<description>My best friend moved to my hometown in the 4th grade. Me and her REALLY hit it off. Funny thing is our friendship started with a conversation about John Wayne. She was 1 of the 2 good, Christian, good morals girls in my class. Besides being my best friend she is my sister in Christ. Now I'm going into seventh grade in August and she won't be there with me. She is moving six hours away. How do I cope with the pain, I cry almost every night. And she moves in a month.</description>

<title>EverVined Chapter 1: Encountered</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/297429/evervined-chapter-1-encountered</link>
<description>

&lt;p&gt;Hey, My name is Katrina Kayde, but most people call me Rina. Sorry, I just don't like the nickname Kat. Anyways, before you read on. You can call this fiction, or whatever you say, but don't get out of your head that this truly happened to me. Really. But let's start from the top. I recently just moved to Ariona, uh... I forgot the state. Actually, let's start from this morning. I packed up all my cool new school stuff and tried to find the difference between shirts that'll make me made fun of, shirts that'll make me get beat up, and just normal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;I think you know which shirt that I picked.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;My mom said I'd be going on the bus, so I tried to wake up earlier. When I was done dressing and packing, I went downstairs for breakfast. But- it wasn't down there? I know that my mom take my sister to school then drives to work, but usually at most there's some toast, no?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No problem, though. I bet there's breakfast as lunch or something? I checked my watch. 7:45 am. Time to go to the bustop! I went across the street and I saw a few people. They seemed easy to charm no? I walked up to this girl, fairly much shorter than me. Long-ish brunette hair, and cute pants and shoes! From the back at least. I decided to tap on her shoulder and she turned around.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Listen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I know it's rude to gasp at somebody's appearance but...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Was.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Normal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It was just that, she looked normal. She had this cute London green top, blue jean bellbottoms and some lacey white socks and shoes. But she had these pointed... elf looking ears. Bigger eyes than any normal human would have. And these big- fluttering crystal patterned fairy wings. Oh. My. Gosh.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>I need help making MHA OCs. I make a ton, but either their quirk is too broken for the universe, or their backstory isn't interesting enough. I want the quirk to be cool at the same time. Help me out all you MHA fans.</description>

So me and my other friend we'll call her raccoon were just drinking water and root beer the whole time while others were arguing and trying to escape lol. When we did we had pizza and I decided to do the sprite challenge and had to chug sprite... Well It's kinda hard to chug when people are going CHUG IT CHUG IT GUY'S IT'S NOT EASY. I litterally spit some on the floor so yeah but I didn't burp. Then my other friend told a story of the time I did a bad impression with an adult umm so we were at the pool and someone said you gt to keep ur hands on the wall and then some guy comes over and says OOOOH YOU JUST GOT YELLED AT.. and I go oh be quiet. ZAnd he goes are you gonna let her talk to me like that then I go yeah DUHHHH.

People argue about it irl and on kt! Please stop fighting! The Swifties need to leave the Anti-Swiftie club alone and the Anti-Swiftie's need to leave the Swifties alone.

<title>GUYS HELP</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/244956/guys-help</link>
<description>

&lt;p&gt;So I have this crush, right?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;(Lets call him D for privacy reasons)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I've liked D maybe since November?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My brother&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;told him a week after I developed my crush on him bc they are both friends. He just laughed and said, &quot;Really?&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;So....it was really awkward whenever I passed him in the halls. We kinda just give each other the side eye.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then, when all the grade 6s from my class went to type with our EA, (let's her call her C) , we were talking about how he could have a crush on me(but most likely does not) and then Zach (a really really annoying guy in my class) said, &quot;Uh...he might like Zoey! JK!&quot; ( Zoey is one of my friends btw, but not really anymore) and then I was reallyconfused.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have a creeping suspicion that he does like her, and I think Zach&amp;nbsp; said jk so that wouldn't hurt my feelings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Idk!!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I really hope it's not true, cuz I've literally had 4 crushes that didn't like me back in the past, and it really annoying!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I know I can't force someone to like me, but it would be nice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is it that I'm not pretty enough???&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Help me!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also I might do a ootd tomorrow for school.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I didn't have school today cuz it's a break day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Also help Lucky You by Taylor Swift is stuck in my head&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Okay that's enough of chi chat&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Byee my arm is gonna break off:))))&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Okay fr tho goodbye&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:8px&quot;&gt;I'm outta here:3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Help</title>
<link>https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/243873/help</link>
<description>

&lt;p&gt;Help! So I recently joined a new school and it's like 3 weeks in the term. I met this really nice girl (I'll call her Lola). So Lola is really nice and we are best friends. We hang out every break and stuff. Then they announced a school trip we'll be going on in year 6. I know it's quite far away as I'm in year 5, but we're not acting like it. I'm not just friends with Lola - I'm friends with all the girls in year 5. But Lola doesn't like my other friends except one (let's call her zigi). Zigi and Lola are actually quite good friends. So then we were deciding who to bunk with on the trip. Me and zigi both wanted to bunk with lola. Lola said she doesn't now who to bunk with. We were then saying this game at break where lola and I were zigi's bodyguards, and had to protect her from the people who were chasing her. They changed the rules and made it so that zigi could only have one bodyguard. She and lola clung together and I hung back. I was only playing this game to hang out with them! On of the boys raised his eyebrows at me, and I had to play bodyguard to one of my other friends. This would normally been OK, but I felt mad. After lola said she wanted to bunk with zigi and I felt mad at lola. Zigi was not leaving me out deliberately but I felt lola was please tell me what to do! Sorry for the long letter guys!&amp;nbsp;&lt;img title=&quot;heart&quot; alt=&quot;heart&quot; src=&quot;https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/qa-plugin/wysiwyg-editor/ckeditor/plugins/smiley/images/heart.png&quot; style=&quot;height:23px; width:23px&quot;&gt; xxxxx love anonymous girl xxxx&lt;/p&gt;</description>
