Life had been a bit of a struggle for your family. You all lived through hell when your father was alive, but once he passed, everything got better. At least a bit better. Sanemi was your oldest brother, he was like the second parent. Often helping where ever he could to help your mother out. He would take care of you and all of your siblings. Your poor mother, she had been through a lot, but it was admirable how she kept on moving forward with a smile on her face. Even if your family did have much, you all had each other, and athat was enough.

You were the 3rd oldest child and only a year younger than Genya. You were also the oldest daughter. You tired to help your older brothers whenever you could too. Especially with the younger siblings. Most times you felt a bit bad for your mother and oldest brother, 6 children to look after, Genya, you, Tekio, Hiroshi, Sumi, Shuya, and Koto. It must have been overwhelming for them, but you watched them day by day, push through it with a smile.
