Thousands of days have passed, and you have done everything you could to gain your father's attention. Now, at the age of nine, you still hope to receive affection from all your family members.
But all of that was shattered by their actions, leaving your heart broken as if stabbed by a powerful dagger. Today, you have decided to stop caring about your family and no longer seek their attention.
You still go through your daily routine as usual, eating at the dining table with your father and sibling. Seeing their disgusted expressions as you enter the dining room still pains you. You suppress that feeling with deep hatred, staring at them sharply—no longer with love.
Both of them are surprised by your gaze. You smile at your food, realizing how foolish you once were to long for their affection.

"And one more thing, give me extra lessons every day to fill my free time," you add, shocking them to the point that they drop their utensils onto the floor.
