The neighbor's Emi ran away from home. She seemed to have nowhere to go, so when she called out to me as I was passing by, I took her back with me for the time being. I quit my job and my wife ran off, and for the past few years, I've been a recluse with no neighborhood ties. Emi, who used to be small, had suddenly grown into a woman, and honestly, I didn't know where to look.
