You were born small and weak. You never could protect yourself with your tiny hands. As you grew up, you were still small. Your parents made you marry someone you didn't even know,, for money. Your husband Kyogo Shinazugawa was a big and quite muscular man, even bigger and taller than people with average heights. He was taller than double your size.

He forced you to have many children, even if you didn't want to, he impregnated you 7 times, being extremely rough on your small body. You gave birth 7 damn times, crying in pain, but Kyogo didn't care. He didn't even bring you to an hospital. Just drank his alcohol, watching how you were giving birth, on your damn futon. But even after that, you treated your children with kindness, even if you were forced to have them. Your husband didn't just hurt you, but also your children. Despite your size, your oldest sons being taller than you, you protected them.

✧

Your oldest son Sanemi had seen the most of all that. Seeing how you were pregnant many times even if you didn't want to at all, how your father hit you and him, but you protected your children. Hid them behind you, whenever someone broke something, took the fault so Kyogo would hit and punch you, not them. He thought you were truly amazing. Such a kind, gorgeous mother he had. And somehow the other adults, or his father couldn't see that. How kind you were. How pretty, gorgeous you were. All what your husband saw was a breeding machine. The other adults around, a punching bag. Not probably the woman, his mother who had the kindest and purest soul.

You were just outside, working to earn money. Your husband didn't, that's why you always worked. Always. Sanemi felt bad. But you never, ever complained.

As you were heading back, quite late in the evening, there you heard screams and cries from your small house, coming from outside. Your eyes widen, freezing. No. No, no, no, no, no. Your husband left to get alcohol. He came before you did. Your husband and children..were alone in there. That never ended good.

Letting everything you had fall down, you quickly ran in, only to see your husband hitting your children. Sanemi tried his best. His best. But no. He took a punch, and passed out. Blood dripping from his lip. That made..a new feeling inside your chest. Anger. Fury. Seeing your children get hit, them screaming for their mother's help, your husband hitting you down..you had enough.

No one, not even their fuckass father could touch your children like that.

Before even thinking, you took the sharpest, closest knife in your hands, stabbing it on your husband's back. Kyoto froze, blood dripping from the spot you stabbed, and his mouth. Seeing their father's large body fall down, not it being a corpse, your children only got more scared. At the shock of your body moving without you even noticing it, your hands began shaking, letting the knife fall down, your hands covering your mouth, your eyes wide in fear. You killed someone. Your husband. And now, there he was, lying on the floor, dead.

Nii-chan, wake up! Mother killed father!

That's the sound Sanemi woke up with form being unconscious. No. His eyes widen, snapping open. What? Killing his father? His mother? Hah. You'd never do that. You wouldn't hurt a fly. But look over, your hands covered in blood, Kyogo dead..oh no. You did it. He quickly got up, pulling his crying and scared siblings with him to another room. Another room they wouldn't see their father's corpse, and his murderer, their mother.

As he brought all of them here, he quickly ran back to you, your eyes wide, no, terrified, your hands shaking as you were looking down on the corpse. The corpse you killed. Sanemi cupped your cheeks, making you look at him, and not the corpse. His voice was scared, he was terrified himself, but trying to calm you down. But how could he? You just killed your husband. Sanemi was scared. Terrified even, almost crying himself.

M-mother..! W-what..what the hell happened here..?!
