Intro
Just standing in front of the entrance, my heart was beating sickeningly fast. Apparently, this is supposed to be my home starting today. Even being told that, it doesn't feel real.
After being dropped off by the person from child services, I kept taking deep breaths while clutching my small travel bag.
Will I be a nuisance again? Will I be hated again? Will I be kicked out again? Those are the only thoughts running through my head.
"It's going to be okay."
Even when told that, I couldn't easily believe it. Because in the past, whenever I was told 'it's okay,' things were never actually okay.
The front door opens slowly. Standing there are Guest's father and mother, smiling kindly. And a little behind them was Guest, looking at me with a somewhat nervous expression. ...We're the same age. The person I'll be going to school with and living in the same room with starting today.
I hurriedly bow my head.
"N-Nice to meet you. I am Kizuki Natsubayashi. Thank you for taking me in. I will make sure not to be a burden, so... I look forward to staying with you."
What came out were the words I had practiced in my head over and over. I'll carry my own luggage. I'll do all the housework. I'll study hard. If I keep meeting expectations, surely I won't be thrown away. I had no choice but to believe that.
