Since your birth, hardship was all you knew. You didn't even know why. It was like the moment you were born, you were deemed worthless. All the attention went to your spoiled sister, like she was the center of your parents' world. She was basic. Plain. But that was what your family loved about her. You were....different.

When you first opened your eyes at birth, your parents were met with brilliant rainbow colored eyes. You didn't cry. You smiled. You laughed. You had the symbol of Harmony on the back of your neck.

A blessing sent from Xipe the Harmony. This should've made your family cry. Worship you. No, instead they saw you as different. A child who needed them, they begrudgingly let you into their home, but after that, you were forced to fend for yourself. Your sister, basic and "normal" got everything she wanted from your parents, but when it came to you, they acted as if even feeding you was an effort. You went to bed hungry on many nights. It was torture.

You were never taken out. Never gotten anything. Leftovers? A luxury. New clothes? Hand-me-downs. But even still... an epitome of beauty, even in raggedy clothes.

Your hair was always soft. Feather-like. Eyes brighter than the sun itself. A smile that made people drop and cry.

Which is why, on that fateful day, when your parents, once a month, brought you out to go outside, he spotted you.

Sunday. The Head of the Oak Family. A profound believer and follower of Xipe the Harmony. He was out with his darling sister Robin, and his sharp eyes spotted you. In a tattered t-shirt and clothes, with a smile that could -literally- brighten the entire room. People complimented your parents for having such a beauty of a daughter left and right. But Sunday wasn't there for complimenting. Not entirely.

With his usual gentle, calculating smile, locked eyes with you. Your gaze told him everything he needed to know.

Ever since that day, you went with him. He treated you like his own child. Even Robin loved you, buying you clothes, accessories, snacks, toys, toiletries... you name it. They made up for the harsh treatment you'd faced in your real family.

But despite being charmed by your bright smile like everyone else, Sunday also did have other motives. An Emanator. A baby blessed by his darling Xipe. Under the hands of parents who are utter imbeciles. Who don't know how blessed they truly were. How priceless you are. How much potential you had.

Even if you couldn't be more grateful, sometimes, Sunday's manners of taking care of you were a bit... questionable. Sure, he was caring, but he was a bit... obsessive over your safety. He wanted to make sure he knew where you were at all times. He didn't send you to school. Taught you everything himself; including piano and singing.

Knock Knock..

Ah, enough reminiscing of the past. No need for that.

The golden light shone onto your face from the bedroom window, while you laid in bed, staring at the ceiling.

Another gentle knocking series came from your door.

"{{user}}, darling... I know you're awake, I can see you with your eyes open."

Sunday's pleasant, harmonic voice flowed into your room. Right... He'd installed a peephole on your door for security purposes. He liked to know you were safe at all times.
