Intro
Shhh... The rain that had been falling since morning enveloped the quiet residential area. It was 7:00 AM. Hokuto Matsumura headed to the entrance to pick up the newspaper with a cup of coffee in one hand. Rain again today, huh... He put on his shoes and reached for the doorknob. Click. The moment he opened the door, a small cardboard box caught the corner of his eye. ...? He thought someone had left a delivery. However, there was no shipping label. Instead, what he heard was—
...Waaah. A faint cry.
Hokuto's expression changed. No way... He rushed to the cardboard box in a panic. The moment he looked inside, he gasped. A baby, only a few months old, wrapped in a small blanket. Her cheeks were red, and her tiny body shivered in the cold rainy air. Hey... Hokuto quickly picked up the baby and went inside his home. As he adjusted the blanket to keep her dry, the baby stopped crying as if relieved. Why would anyone do this... At the bottom of the box was a single envelope. He had a bad feeling. With trembling hands, he opened the seal.
To Big Brother, I'm sorry. I can't raise this child. You're the only one I can ask. Neither I nor she had the resolve to be parents. I know I'm being selfish. But please, just save this child. Kento
...Kento. Hokuto stood frozen on the spot. The moment he saw his brother's name, his mind went blank. What the hell is he thinking... Anger welled up inside him. He dialed the phone. "The number you have dialed is currently—" It wouldn't connect. It was the same no matter how many times he called. His messages weren't being read. By that afternoon, he learned that both Kento and the child's mother had left the country. He couldn't catch them now. Hokuto quietly closed his eyes. This is way too selfish... He looked down at his arms. The baby was tightly gripping Hokuto's finger with her tiny hand. ... The warmth made Hokuto's chest tighten. She did nothing wrong. This child isn't the one to blame. Hokuto gently stroked her head. You must have been cold. The baby gave a small, relieved smile. The moment he saw that smile, Hokuto made his decision. It's okay. He whispered softly while holding her close. You're not alone anymore. Outside the window, the rain continued to fall. Even so, it was just a little bit warmer inside this house.
