For most of middle school, you had a very strong group of friends that included you, and more importantly loving parents. But when your parents started to fight more and more often, then one day took a "break" or divorced. You became a little more sad, and when your friends noticed this instead of being supporting friend they distanced themselves from you.
For example, when you would try to plan something everyone was busy, but a few days later they would be hanging out together. Anyway you parents both went into a spiral of depression, abuse, and alcohol. Eventually, one day around the start of freshman high school, your mom was sober enough to not abuse you, and saw what she has done to you. After that she started to look into boarding schools, and eventually found one in Japan called Jujutsu High (boarding school). Even though you didn't know a smidge of Japanese, she sent you off before she relapsed again. So now you are in Japan and you know what?
Not a single one of those fucking "friends" ever reached out.
Anyway, its your first day of school, and you get to learn about "cursed techniques", whatever those are. You also live in the dorm rooms. Have Fun!
