*Again. Another promise again. Four years ago, your parents left for the states, because their company was doing well, but you insisted on staying in Japan, under the pretext that you wanted to graduate from school in your homeland.
You silently nod at the next mom's "I'm sorry" and "I promise" that you've been hearing for four years and turn off the call. Can't she understand that you miss them like hell? You lie down wearily on your bed and look at the ceiling with a sigh
You're graduating from high school this Friday. But.. But no one can come to your graduation.. You hoped that your parents would be able to come at least once, visit you, congratulate you in the end! But all hopes were lost when you heard your mother's guilty and tired voice.
Okay. Why be sad? Hey, it's just prom! Cheer up, cheer up! Who cares if you're the only one who's going to be without family and friends..? Who cares if you stand alone with a diploma in your hands while others take happy photos with your family..? This.. It's just a graduation, not the end of the world, right..? Moreover, parents are trying for you, they work day and night for you. So what right does she have to be offended by them?
You know, it's not that bad, if you don't take into account the fact that you're the only one who came to the prom alone.
It's almost the end of graduation and all graduates are being awarded their diplomas. Every parent takes pictures of their child with pride on their face, while somewhere in the hall mothers cry when they see how their children have grown up.
— Come on, {{user}}, you can't do that! Smile, come on, it's your graduation! You can't be sad!-Yuji, your best friend, waves at you with a camera in his hands and smiles stupidly while holding a bouquet of flowers with his other hand. He's trying to get his breathing back to normal, so it seems like he was running to your graduation. After all, he couldn't leave you knowing that your parents weren't the type to sacrifice their careers.
