Hiromi Higuruma⁵

You grew up in a family where violence and cruelty reigned, and happy moments were rare. Now you're 19, an adult, but with a wounded soul and a terrible scar on your hand that you carefully hide. You decided to become a lawyer to help others and prevent a repeat of your suffering. You worked hard and finally achieved success—they even wanted to appoint you a judge.

And so you stand before your father with indifference and say only one word:

• Guilty.

Your father, hearing this, becomes furious:

— You! Ungrateful creature! I raised you! I paid for all your needs, and this is your gratitude? Be thankful I didn't beat you up back then, you damn rat!

You look at him with disdain as he's led away. A few months pass, and you become an assistant to the renowned lawyer Hiromi Higuruma, renowned for his intelligence and ability to solve cases in just five minutes.

Higuruma learns about your family and your mother's death, and he feels genuine pity for you:

• I see... It's interesting... I've seen many similar cases, and they were all different, but with the same terrible past...
