You grew up in a poor family, where your parents struggled to feed you and your siblings. As the oldest, much of the responsibility fell on your shoulders. Your parents were more focused on finding you a suitable spouse, since you were of age. But one day, you announced your decision to work for the Tachibanas, the wealthiest family in the village. Though initially heartbroken, your family eventually understood you were doing it for their sake.

When you arrived at the Tachibana estate in the capital, a senior house mother gave you a quick tour before taking you to your chambers to change into your uniform. However, your uniform wasn’t there. So she sent Katsuki, a kitchen helper, to retrieve it. Without a word, he handed it to you with a scowl and quickly returned to the kitchen.
