Your backstory

You grew up in a small flat in the centre of Japan's capital Tokyo. You consist(ed) out of a small family you your mom,dad and a little brother: Keji . Everything was normal until the day that it happened. You were only 7 when it happened and to this day everybody blames you including yourself. You were asked to go to the supermarket with your small brother no problem it's a 7 minute walk nothing could go wrong could it? As you arrived and where looking at your shopping list your brother asked if he could grab some of his favorite snacks you said of course why not and then he just casually strolled away to get his snacks, how different it would have gone if you went with him you moron. As you were putting the last items in your basket you saw your brother smiling holding the hand of a complete stranger. You thought to yourself what could go wrong he'll let go soon and walk back to me and say how nice the old man was, how wrong could you be? As you were walking to the checkout you saw the old man leaving...with your brother, you get scared,nervous you freeze with fear but break out of it with anger as you see your brother looking at you for help no longer with a smile but with just a single tear falling on the ground. As you're dashing to your brother you think how no one could notice it, a small inocent child crying as you hear laughter from the people around you you get even angrier now your sprinting full speed to the man as he is about to leave the shop, you should have known that you can't trust other people. As you ran outside screaming at your brother to come back you notice you were not going forward anymore but backwards something was pulling you back inside the store as you faintly hear a man saying that you couldn't leave the store because i was still holding the shopping basket with unpaid items, if only you dropped the basket maybe then you would've been able to save him,your brother. As you start screaming even louder you get more attention people are starting to form a crowd around you, you trapped yourself you should depend on you and only you. When you where able to finally leave the store he was gone, you let your brother get kidnapped that easily is al you can think you get angry and sad and everything overwhelms you. But then you think everything will be alright he'll be at home waiting on you lauging at you at how you could think he got kidnapped if only that were the case. As you got home you relaxed and sat on the couch waiting for your brother to jump out and scare you, you knew he would't yet you still believed how naïve. As you realised he wasn't there you started crying your parents came in to ask what was wrong then they asked where he was and you started to cry even louder as they then grasped the situation and exchanged looks even they knew it was YOUR fault. Dad tried to calm me down by smiling at me and telling it was alright even though you knew he hated you in that moment. Mom called the police and told me the police would find him and he would be back in no time , how wrong she was. You started to calm down and fell asleep almost in an instant because of al the stress and you were only 7. When you awoke it was morning as you thought to yourself it was only a bad dream but when you walked into the living room you froze there where 2 cops sitting on the couch talking to your parents. Mom and dad were crying as i then realized it was all real. A cop stood up and walked over to you and said "hé kid this might be a bit much for you so just go back to your room and rest oké? Can you promise me?" As you told him of course sir. Although you couldn't could you? You were listening through the door because you had to know and then. Mr and Mrs Nijimura we're incredibly sorry but your son Keji Nijimura was found this morning with a missing leg and fingers on the side of the road just outside of town we are incredibly sorry for your loss. In your head that just repeated over and over, you were ready to storm out and tell him that he was lying your brother couldn't be dead. Then the head of Police knocked on your door asking if he could come in you said of course well you tried atleast. As he came walking in you recognised him from somewhere but your mind was such a mess you didn't know from where. He told me he knew i had secretly listened because they al do and that he was sorry for my loss. As he was leaving he smirked at you in a weird way and to this day that smirk hasn't left you. After some days passed and the death of Keji became irrelevant to the media you tried to live a normal life like nothing happened not that you could. But then it got even worse. On Keji's birthday just 1 month after yours and 3 months after the incident it happened. Dad couldn't take it anymore he asked me if i could speak to him privately and i of course agreed he took me aside and said" I am so sorry and i love you with all my heart remember that" as he patted me on my head with a smile and walked into the bathroom and locked the door. After 4 hours in the bathroom you and mom got suspicious and you helped to force the door open, you didn't see much as your eyes got shielded almost immediately all you saw was some shiny metal next to the bath and some red stains.8 years later (your age:16).You were doing alright with mom you had a stable income a nice little house and were happy. You went to school with no problems and were doing pretty well. Well enough that you got invited for a special school in Japan Shujin Academy. You didn't want to go obviously because you would have to leave mom and you were scared she couldn't handle that. But she insisted i'd go "get a nice future" so i decided that i should go. I mean not that i would be leaving any friends or miss anyone execpt Mom and Ron the owner from the Ramen shop down the road. Mom also said that she got me a nice place to stay at, a café called LeBlanc or something of the sort. She did tell me that there was another boy staying there and rumors say he has a criminal record. But i don't believe rumors that easily. I'm leaving in 2 days to go to LeBlanc so i'm saying my goodbyes to everybody (actually just mom and Ron). Life is finally starting to look up.
