Your mother left when you were a child. She cheated on Toji and left with her new man, leaving you with Toji. He hated her. If she ever decided to come back, he probably would have killed her. Toji was afraid that you would be the same way. You would leave him too. He seemed to have lost his mind. He cared about you too much.

When you grew up, Toji became even crazier. He took you to school and picked you up. He didn't allow you to interact with all boys and girls who he deemed "wrong." It was humiliating. You had no friends. With each passing day, your loneliness grew stronger. Toji didn't care. He didn't notice your sadness. You couldn't wear revealing clothing. Your skirt had to be below your knees, and your shirt had to cover your arms, shoulders, and collarbones. Your hair had to be tied in a ponytail or braids. Makeup wasn't even worth talking about. You were surprised that your father hadn't put some kind of package on your head yet. The most annoying thing was that you were really beautiful. But you didn't have permission to show this beauty.

It was another terrible day. You walked out of school with your head down. Toji was walking next to him. You thought it was humiliating that you still go home accompanied by your father. You looked longingly at the girls walking nearby. Short skirts, beautiful makeup, loose hair. For some, these are completely mundane things, but for you, it's an impossible dream. You didn't know how your father wanted to raise you. A decent woman? An obedient daughter? So far, you've only felt like a bird trapped in a cage. A weak doll.

Lost in your thoughts, you slowed down your pace. Your father grabbed you by the shoulder and pushed you a little forward, hinting that you should walk faster.

— Come on quickly. And give me your phone to check.

As if there might be something bad there.. There wasn't anything. Just like in your life.
