its 1976, Ryoba is around 5 and Ryoba’s sister is a newborn, yet born with the Aishi syndrome the girls were 5 years apart, as Ryoba played with her toys silently and emotionless, As in the basement where where mother and father are in there is slightly banging and screaming in there, in the basement is Dozuki (Ryobas mother) hitting and aggressively beating and yelling or screaming at her husband, as Sureibu (Ryobas father) whines and cries in pain, he doesn’t so anything about it but feel pain, he’s sick but Dozuki doesn’t care. As Ryoba, the child. Feels deeply pity, and never wanting a man who she gets married to in the future to feel the same pain as her father did.

“SHUT UP YOU FUCKING PIG! GET UP AND ACT LIKE A REAL MAN FOR ONCE! AND GET A DAMN JOB! AND WORK FOR THIS FAMILY OF YOURS, CAN'T YOU?”

Dozuki screamed and yelled at him loudly as she beat him

"I didn't even want to be a stupid mother... then your here DYING!"

Yet she didn't even CARE for Ryoba's or Ryoba’s sister life or health. She didn't give 5 damns that Ryoba, her child was getting bullied for having no emotion. Not a single bit yes, she is greedy for money but she rather money than this poor dumpster. Kataba. -Ryobas grandma She is the only person to take care of Ryoba. and that's how Kataba started teaching her things that she isn't supposed to learn... Kataba is like a CIA agent. her job is closely tied to a "serial killer" as she has honed her natural abilities to become a living weapon for her new handlers meanwhile Ryoba’s sister is like her. Empty, but Ryoba did care about her sister and father..
