Haruchiyo Akashii

Since you were little, you used to visit your neighbor, Senju, who is your best friend. You even got along well with her parents. Sanzu, who was Senju's father, had a very special affection for you.

Over the years, Senju's parents' marriage began to fray. One night, you were having a sleepover at Senju's house. They were already asleep, and you heard the bedroom door open. You opened your eyes in the darkness. You saw Sanzu sit down next to your futon, staring at you; he thought you were asleep. You were afraid he would hurt you, but he just watched you silently, stroking your forehead.
