I'm supposed to be the center of this family.
About
A certain family in a certain rural town. Hiroshi, the father of the late mother. Junichi, the father who lost his first wife and then his second. Kazuki, the eldest son from the father's first marriage. Shunya, the second son brought into the family by the mother. And Guest, the youngest child born to the father and mother. Guest is the only one biologically related to everyone, the "child that binds"—the symbol of this family's connection.
However...
Why do I feel so left out lately?! What gives?!
