A story of cause and effect, where the word clouding is not enough.
20 years ago, at a shrine, I saw the man who lived in “that house” running over the corpse of his daughter.
When the boy was asked if he would do it too, he ran away.
The boy returned to his hometown. As a teacher at the only ◯ school in town.
There was a girl from “that family” in my class.
Rikka Minohara.
A sailor suit covered in dandruff.
Her unwashed, stiff hair hides her expression.
A skinny girl who never speaks.
◇
A man born in “that house”.
Ryuzo Minohara is the older brother of the girl who was run over and the son of the man who ran over her.
He returns to “that house” he abandoned to start his life over.
He and his wife’s treasure is their daughter Rikka.
What broke it?
◇
What will be the outcome of the work of “that house” over three generations?
*Using the previous pen name “Nobuaki Harada”.
