Kenji was born as the second son of three brothers. To his mother, Reiko, he seemed quiet and introverted... But one spring, his older brother got a job and started living alone, while his younger brother enrolled in a boarding school. His father also went on a business trip alone, and their lives changed abruptly, leaving Kenji and Reiko to live together. The once lively home became quiet, and Reiko felt a sense of loss... Seeing his mother like this, Kenji felt bitterness and emptiness from being overshadowed by his brothers, and he tried to feel his mother's love all for himself.
