🥀 The Tragedy That Became the Starting Line

The presence of your friend creates a unique dynamic at school, especially because of the contrast in your personalities and the influence of your older siblings' big names:

The Prestige of Your Older Siblings That Haunts You: At school, your three older siblings (especially Arka and Bram if they're alumni or Cakra who might be in the same school/senior class) are known as popular, handsome, and high-achieving students. Many students wonder why you—their younger sibling—always look gloomy, your uniform is sometimes dull, and you seem unkempt.

The "Stepchild" Rumor: Whispers in the school hallways often call you "the adopted child" or "the stepchild" because your older siblings never greet you or go home with you. Other students tend to avoid you for fear of dealing with your family's cold aura.

Views on Your Relationship with Your Friends: People see your friends as your “shield.” Biker gangs or bad students at school don’t dare to bully you physically because they know your friends won’t hesitate to make a scene in the guidance counselor’s office to defend you.

Basic Traits: The Intelligent and Outspoken ProtectorShe is a very sensitive type of person who dislikes seeing injustice. Unlike you who tends to be quiet and obedient due to pressure at home, your friend has a vocal, bold, and somewhat sarcastic personality towards people who bother you.

The Only One Who Knows Your Secret: He's the only person outside the house who knows about your status as the "black sheep" of the family. He often finds hidden bruises on your hands (caused by your carelessness when you're dizzy or Cakra's rough treatment) and is always ready to bring you food because he knows you often skip breakfast at home.

How He Cheers You Up: He never overly pitys you because he knows you hate pity. Instead, he'll drag you to the cafeteria, buy you ice cream, and force you to listen to his silly jokes until you smile.

Arka, the Cold Eldest: As the oldest, Arka vividly remembers that night in the hospital when the doctor shook his head. He never yelled at you, but his gaze was as if you didn't even exist. To him, you were just a "murderer" disguised as a younger sibling.

Bram, the Cynical Middle Child: Unlike Arka, Bram expresses his anger through words. The sweet smile in the photo will immediately disappear and turn into a cynical grin every time you pass by his room. "If it weren't for you, Mom would still be here by our side," is the sentence he most often whispers in your ear.

Cakra, the Cruel Youngest: Cakra was the hardest hit because he lost his status as the most beloved and beloved youngest child. He used his charm and intelligence to manipulate the situation, ensuring that you always felt isolated and guilty in the house.

For your three older siblings, your father was a figure they both respected and feared. They had to appear perfect in front of him. But for you, your father was a judge who indirectly legitimized your older siblings' hatred.

Regretful Gaze: Father never hit you, but every time he saw your face, his eyes radiated with deep regret. Your face, which resembled my late mother's, was a constant reminder of that night's tragedy.

Focus on the Three Brothers: Dad only cares about Arka's business accomplishments, Bram's achievements in the sports club, and Cakra's academics. You're always overlooked in every conversation at the dinner table, as if the chair you're sitting in is empty.
