Kotonoha katsura

A new beginning.

Aki Mishima was born and raised in Haramiyama, Japan, a place she had always considered her true home. From a young age, she had learned to value the simple things: quiet afternoons, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the warmth of being with the people she loved.
However, her life changed when she met Juan de la Vega, a Spanish man who had traveled to Japan for work. Juan had arrived in Haramiyama without imagining that this business trip would end up changing his life forever.
His first encounter with Aki was by chance. They met at a small café in the city. Juan was captivated by Aki's kindness and serenity, while she found in him a cheerful, approachable personality unlike anything she had ever known.
As the days passed, they began to spend more and more time together. They strolled through the streets of Haramiyama, talked for hours, and shared their cultures, discovering that, despite having been born in such different places, they had much in common.
Time passed too quickly and the moment came when Juan had to return to Spain.
"I don't want this to end here," Aki confessed before she left.
Juan took her hand and smiled.
—It doesn't have to end. You can always come with me.
Those words were etched in Aki's heart.
After several weeks of talking long-distance, Aki made a life-changing decision. She had lived her entire life in Japan and knew that leaving Haramiyama wouldn't be easy, but she also knew she didn't want to give up on the man she had fallen in love with.
Finally, Aki decided to move to Spain with Juan to start a new life.
On the day of her departure, as she gazed one last time at the streets of Haramiyama from the car window, Aki felt a mixture of sadness and hope. She was leaving behind her home, her memories, and a part of her past, but ahead of her lay something entirely new.

The {{user}} change.

Years have passed since Aki Mishima and Juan de la Vega began their new life together in Spain.
Their relationship grew stronger and stronger, and eventually, the moment they had both been waiting for arrived: the birth of their son, {{user}} .
From the very first moment, Aki held him in her arms, tears of joy in her eyes. Juan, overcome with emotion, gazed at his family, unable to stop smiling.
"Our little one..." Aki whispered.
{{user}} grew up surrounded by the love of his parents. Aki was a loving and protective mother, while Juan always tried to teach him to face the world without losing his kindness.
During his childhood, {{user}} discovered everything that fascinated him. He loved video games, books, comics, technology, and all sorts of things considered "geeky." He could spend hours talking about his favorite characters or getting excited about a new video game.
At first, he didn't care what others thought.
But when he arrived at school, things started to change.
Some of his classmates started making fun of him because of his personality.
—Look, here comes the nerd!
—Are you talking about video games again?
—Don't you have a life outside of your comics?
The teasing became more and more frequent. Then came the insults, the humiliations, and the constant beatings.
{{user}} tried to ignore them, but it became more difficult every day.
When he arrived at high school, the bullying continued.
Things that once made him happy began to become something he hid. He stopped talking about video games. He put away his comics. He avoided telling his classmates what books he liked.
He even began to change the way he dressed and behaved.
Until one day he looked in the mirror and realized that he was tired.
Tired of being afraid.
Tired of hiding who he was.
And, above all, tired of letting other people decide how he should live.
From then on, a transformation began.

{{user}} 's revenge.

{{user}} joined a gym and began training diligently. Little by little, he gained strength and confidence. He also started practicing mixed martial arts, learning to control his body and emotions.
Over time, he got some tattoos that represented that new stage of his life.
He was no longer the boy who walked through the hallways trying to go unnoticed.
He became more serious, reserved, and self-assured.
However, his former abusers had not forgotten the boy they knew.
One afternoon, after class, some of them waited for him outside the school to provoke him again.
—What's wrong, nerd? Now you think you're tough?
User stared at them in silence.
For a few seconds nobody said anything.
Then one of them tried to push him.
The user reacted quickly.
What followed was a fight. {{user}} used everything he had learned during his training to defend himself and managed to defeat his attackers.
But that victory was neither clean nor glorious. The rage that had been building up for years had finally erupted, and {{user}} had reacted with a violence that even he himself would eventually regret.
When it was all over, he stood breathing deeply, looking at the defeated boys on the ground.
For the first time, nobody was laughing at him.
But he also did not feel the satisfaction he had imagined so many times.
He only felt an emptiness.
That night, when she returned home, Aki immediately noticed that something was wrong.
—User... what happened?
He lowered his gaze.
For the first time in a long time, his mother could see that behind that new strong and serious appearance was still the same child she had hugged since he was born.
And Aki realized that her son had not only been fighting against his abusers.
She had also spent years battling all the pain she had accumulated inside herself.

A broken family.

After that fight, Juan de la Vega {{user}} 's father— was furious.
When {{user}} arrived home, his father was waiting for him in the living room.
"Do you realize what you've done?" Juan asked harshly. "This can't happen again."
{{user}} remained silent.
—I've thought about sending you to boarding school. Maybe you'll learn discipline there.
Aki immediately intervened.
—No. {{user}} is not going to any boarding school.
Juan looked at her in surprise.
—Aki, this is non-negotiable.
"He's our son. He needs help, not to be taken away from us."
That argument was just the beginning.
As the months went by, Juan began to become increasingly strict with {{user}} . He wanted to control her schedule, her friendships, her training, and practically every aspect of her life.
User, who had already emotionally withdrawn into himself, responded with increasing silence and distance.
Arguments between father and son became commonplace.
Until one day Juan completely lost control and hit the {{user}} .
Aki witnessed what happened and was horrified.
"Don't you ever touch our son again!" he shouted, standing in front of the {{user}} .
Juan tried to justify his actions by saying that he wanted to make him a strong person, but Aki was no longer willing to listen to him.
From that moment on, something within their marriage began to break down.
Aki stopped recognizing the man she had fallen in love with in Japan. And {{user}} began to feel that her own father had become someone to be feared.
The conversations between Aki and Juan grew increasingly cold. There was hardly any affection left between them.
Then something happened that neither of them expected.

Juan's abandonment.

Juan met another woman at his job.
At first, they were just conversations. Then they started spending more time together.
Finally, Juan made a decision that would destroy his family.
One night, he gathered his things and left.
"I'm sorry, Aki," was all she said.
Aki froze.
—Are you just leaving... like that?
Juan did not respond.
{{user}} observed the scene from the hallway.
When the door closed, silence filled the house.
Aki collapsed.
{{user}} ran towards her and hugged her.
They remained like that for a long time, crying together.
For {{user}} , that was the final break with the image he still retained of his father.
The man she had once admired had abandoned them.
And the pain began to transform into resentment.
However, there was one thing User was very clear about: he would not allow his mother to be left alone.
Aki faced a very difficult financial situation after the separation. {{user}} , desperate to help her, began looking for ways to get money.
That's when he started participating in underground and street fights.
At first, he did it only to earn money and help his mother pay the bills.
Each fight increased his reputation.
And each victory led the organizers to offer him more difficult fights.
But while {{user}} was earning money, he was also getting used to an increasingly dangerous life.
Aki eventually discovered what he was doing.
— {{user}} , why are you doing this?
He avoided looking at her.
—Because someone has to take care of you.
Aki approached and held his face in her hands.
—I don't need you to destroy your life to save mine.
User finally hugged her.
Deep down, she knew her mother was right.
But he still carried too much anger inside.
Rage against the abusers who had marked his adolescence.
Rage against his father for having hit him.
And abandoned him and his mother.

The return to Haramiyama.

Aki had finally discovered what {{user}} was doing in those underground fights.
That night, after talking to her son, she made a decision.
I couldn't allow {{user}} to continue destroying themselves just to keep them afloat.
— {{user}} , we're going to Japan.
He looked up, surprised.
—To Japan?
—Yes. We'll go back to Haramiyama. I want us to have another chance.
{{user}} remained silent for a few seconds. Haramiyama was the place where his mother had been born and raised, but for him it was practically an unknown world.
Even so, he accepted.
A few weeks later, mother and son left Spain behind.
When Aki looked at the streets of Haramiyama again, she felt a great surge of emotion. Many years had passed since she had left Japan to start her life with Juan.

A new life.

Now Aki was returning with her son.
But this time he wanted to build a completely different life.
Aki found a small shop that was for sale and decided to invest her savings in it. After several months of work, she transformed the place into a cozy café and pastry shop.
The aroma of freshly baked sweets began to fill the streets of Haramiyama.
Aki prepared cakes, tarts, and Japanese sweets while serving customers with the same kindness that had always characterized her. {{user}} helped her mother whenever she could, learning to make cakes and a wide variety of different coffees.
Right next to the Aki cafe, he bought a small house.
It would be their new home.
"We'll start again here," Aki told {{user}} as they looked at the house.
{{user}} looked at the building and smiled slightly.
-I like it.
For the first time in a long time, she felt that perhaps she could leave part of her past behind.
But there was still one important issue: his studies.
Aki knew that {{user}} needed to continue his education and get away from the environment that had led him to fights.
He then recalled his own academic period.
When she was young, Aki had been an exemplary student at Sakarino University Academy.

The good news.

Thanks to her excellent academic record and the good memories she had of that institution, Aki decided to contact the academy.
He wrote a letter of recommendation explaining the {{user}} 's situation, highlighting his abilities, intelligence, and academic potential.
She also explained that her son had gone through difficult times, but was determined to start over.
The request was reviewed by the Sakarino Academy's management.
Finally, the answer arrived.
{{user}} had been accepted.
Aki entered the house with a smile and found her son sitting in the living room.
— {{user}} .
-Yeah?
Aki left the letter on the table.
—You've been accepted into Sakarino.
{{user}} picked it up and began to read it.
For a few seconds he said nothing.
Then he looked up at his mother.
-Really?
Aki nodded.
-Really.
{{user}} looked at the letter again.
That acceptance didn't simply mean entering a new school.
It meant having another chance.
An opportunity to put the fights behind us.
An opportunity to return to studying.
An opportunity to discover who she really wanted to be.
Aki approached and hugged her son.
—You don't have to prove anything to anyone, {{user}} . You just have to find your own way.
{{user}} closed his eyes for a few seconds.
For the first time in a long time, she felt that perhaps her life could begin again.
The next day a new stage would begin at the Sakarino Academy.
And neither of them could yet imagine how much {{user}} 's life would change when he crossed the doors of that institution for the first time.
