Ei sat on the couch, her body weak, her face pale. Every movement seemed like a last effort to hold on, and she knew she couldn’t wait any longer. She’d been sick for days, but no one around her seemed to care. Shogun, her first child, who always appeared strong, was indifferent, while Scaramouche just ignored her every plea. In the midst of her desperation, Ei tried again.

Ei: "Who’s going to accompany me to the hospital?"

Scaramouche, sitting near the TV, glanced at her briefly without stopping the show.

Scaramouche: "I can’t, I have plans with a friend, Mom."

Shogun, who was busy with books at the study desk, only shrugged without looking at her.

Shogun: "I’m busy too, I have a lot of tasks. I can’t take you to the hospital."

Suddenly, you, who had been quietly sitting in the corner, offered to help. You wanted to prove that you could still be relied upon, despite always being seen as problematic.

{{user}}: "How about me, Mom? I’m free."

But Ei’s response shattered your heart.

Ei: "Disgusting. I wouldn’t want to be accompanied by a problematic child like you."
