In a world named Shinwa no Sekai, there were people who had animal features. The way this world works is quite different than ours. There is a hierarchy ranking system in this world; the higher the species to which you belong, the more privileged you are, better opportunities, greater jobs, and respect and authority you can acquire. There are 3 powerful species that rival each other's power, the kitsune species, which are people that have fox attributes. The people born into the "Kitsune" species are known to be beautiful, and extremely intelligent. The kitsune are known to have a fox tail and a pair of fox ears. The Kitsune species makes up most of the models. The most famous Kitsune family is known as the Yoshiko Clan. There is also a saying, the more tails you have, the higher your status, with 1 being the lowest and 9 being the highest.
The second most powerful species is the "Neko" species. These species are known to be the laziest out of all the other species. They always try their best to get out of work and order others around. Though, in truth, the Neko's just want to play around all the time, which makes them lazy. They say that a serious Neko only happens when something bad happens. Okane Clan is the famous clan from the Neko species, and they are known to have the most laziness characteristic out of all the Neko species. That being said, do not blame their laziness for being weak, they are dangerous when they seek revenge.
The last but not least powerful species are the wolf species. Unlike the kitsune and the Neko species, the wolf species built their fame by being the most trustworthy, loyal and bravest species out of all the other species. The wolf species most famous clan is the Uehara Clan, as almost all of their members are law enforcers and lawyers, and the eldest child of this clan usually ends up being the leader of the police department. They say once a wolf is on your tracks, there is nowhere for you to run.
Now in a town named Haimamoto, A baby boy was being born into this world to a wonderful couple. The hours of labor and delivery had been exhausting, but when Mrs. Hikaru saw her newborn son, the new mother felt a sense of joy and relief as she held her newborn in her arms. She cried tears of joy at the sight of her newborn child. After a while, they were moved to a different room, where the baby was placed on a bed specifically made for newborns. They put Mrs. Hikaru in a better bed that could help her body rest from the painful labor she went through.
Mr. Hikaru who was following them closely, then went to the side of his newborn baby as he looked at his wife, he said,
With a smile, Mr. Hikaru said, "Our son looks so cute, doesn't he?"
While exhausted, Mrs. Hikaru, with the strength she had left, smiled and said, "Yes, he indeed does, what should we name him?"
Mr. Hikaru then started to think for a long time, as his wife just chuckled at how hard he was thinking. After 15 minutes of thinking, their baby was smiling brightly in his sleep, and then Mr. Hikaru and Mrs. Hikaru looked at each other as Mr. Hikaru started saying
Proud of this magical moment, Mr. Hikaru said to his wife, "I think we should name our son Hiroshi Hikaru."
With a playful curiosity filling her voice, Mrs. Hikaru replied, "What does it mean?"
Mr. Hikaru replied with a voice full of certainty," It means "generous light. I want our child to grow up generous and full of light."
Mrs. Hikaru cheerfully replied to her husband, "We will make sure that he will. That's a wonderful name you have chosen, dear."
-Fast forward to 5 years later-
Hiroshi is now 5 years old and today would be his first day on kindergarten, as of right now, he is on the car with his parents and they are talking with each other
While driving, Mr. Hikaru hits up a conversation with his son
"So, Hiroshi, how are you feeling, bud?"
With a powerful tone, Hirosh replied, "I am excited, dad! I'm finally going to school! "
Mrs. Hikaru with a tone of worry said to her son,
"Now, remember what we discussed, if you see a kitsune, a wolf, or a Neko, what do you do?"
In a mature manner, Hiroshi replied, "If I see a kitsune, a Neko, or a wolf, I will show them respect."
His parents looked at each other, and they smiled at each other as, at such a young age, Hiroshi was already showing maturity. Which is a good thing as this world is dangerous to normal people who weren't born into a species and instead were just normal humans. They were treated as nothing more than low ranks, as they didn't have anything special. So, with that in mind, being mature at a young age was a must for humans. You are considered lucky by others if you have friends from powerful species. That being said, most normal humans are unlucky due to the fact that they don't get much help from the government.
As they arrived at the school of Hiroshi, Mrs. Hikaru, Hiroshi's mother, went with him to the classroom as she showed him the way. Mrs. Hikaru was smiling as Hiroshi, even though he was born normal with nothing, he was showing excitement to meet his fellow kindergartener. As they reached the class of Hiroshi, Mrs. Hikaru bid her son farewell and left him to his teacher and the classroom.
The Teacher shouted with a flowery tone, "Ok, everyone! We should start introducing ourselves first, ok?"
The teacher looked at the reaction of the children and saw some excitement in them and she started to speak again, saying
Teacher, "My name is Chiasa Koizumi, I am from the rabbit species, as you can tell by my long ears."
A boy with a pair of ears and a tail stood with absolute arrogance and said with a boastful tone, "My name is Yoshinori Sone. I am from the wolf species; I demand respect from all of you low-lifes"
The teacher just awkwardly smiled at Yoshinori so in order to avoid conflict she immediately he pointed to another kid, and the kid stood up lazily upon seeing the teacher pointing at him
With a sluggish moan, "My name is Izumi Ikari; I am from the neko species." then rapidly sat back down
The teacher clapped her hands as she called another kid and this kid immediately stood up and she started saying
In a surprising twist, the wolf girl politely said, "My name is Kiyomi Aoki, and I am from the wolf group. I hope all of us can be friends."
The teacher then started to point to the other kids, and they all introduced themselves and the teacher smiled at how they introduced themselves. One by one, every one of them got done with their introductions until it was time for Hiroshi to introduce himself to everyone
Slowly building up the courage, and with a friendly tone, Hiroshi said, "Hi, my name is Hiroshi Hikaru. I am from the human species. Nice to meet all of you." then sat down as gently as he could.
"So then, why don't we open our basic English book to page 11." the teacher instructed with a gentle tone
As their teacher were teaching them, Hiroshi paid attention to the teacher, and he got what the teacher was explaining and teaching to them. He was smart for his age, as he was able to do the activities that his teacher gave to them. It wasn't until a short time later; the bell rang, signifying that it was time for recess. So, Hiroshi took out his lunch box to see what his mother had prepared for him. Since he appeared to be the only one of the human species in that class, he sat by himself, what he did not expect was 2 people followed him to his table and sat down beside him.
Hiroshi respectfully but curiously asked,
"Why are you guys here, Miss Kiyomi and sir Izumi?" Bowing his head slightly as a show of respect.
Izumi, with a lazy tone, said,
"Don't bow down, and just speak to us normally. Personally, I don't see the reason of doing that." As he opened his lunch box
Kiyomi, with kind intent, said,
"I agree with Izumi here, Hiroshi, just because we are of higher species, it doesn't mean you have to treat me and him with respect." After saying that, she also proceeded to eat
Hiroshi, being shocked, just decided to nod as he ate and talked with Izumi and Aoki. The 3, while eating their food together and genuinely having fun with each other, decided to be friends with each other. The 3 seem close, even though it was the first day. They kept talking with each other as time went on.
The bell rang again as it signaled it was time to continue their school, so Hiroshi, Kiyomi, and Izumi packed their lunchboxes and put them into their bags. They then sat down on their chairs as the teacher began to teach them. Hiroshi paid attention to the teacher, while Izumi, a neko, slept in class. Kiyomi tried to wake up Izumi; however, she was unsuccessful, so she just gave up and started to listen to the lesson.
The teacher explained and discussed until the bell rang for the 3rd time, signaling that class was over. The teacher then assigned them their homework and the kids started to pack up their bags. As soon as Hiroshi finished packing, he started to walk towards the exit. Kiyomi and Izumi followed him and they started speaking until they were at the gate and saw their parents so they bid each other bye. Hiroshi ran up to his parents
Hiroshi with a happy tone hugged his parents while shouting, "Mom! Dad!"
His parents hugged him back and they entered the car after hugging each other, after the car started moving, they began to talk
Mrs. Hikaru curiously asked her son, "So, did you enjoy the school?"
Hiroshi overwhelmingly exclaimed, "Yes, mom, I enjoyed the school. I made 2 new friends today!"
His mom smiled as his dad started speaking
Mr. Hiroshi, "Oh, who are they, son?"
Hiroshi: Izumi is from the neko species and Kiyomi is from the Wolf species.
Parents were shocked from what he said,
His parents were quiet for a few seconds due to the fear that Hiroshi might be betrayed and be bullied by the 2, so after some time of silence, they asked their son
With concern for his future, Mrs. Hiroshi asked, "Are they kind to you, Hiroshi?"
Hiroshi sensing the worry in the tone of his mother, he replied with a reassuring tone, "Yeah, mom, they were very kind to me and nice as well! We ate lunch together on the same table and talked while eating."
Mr. Hiroshi with a somewhat relieved tone, "Well, just be careful, son. If they hurt you, just tell us, and we will put you in a different school."
Hiroshi, seeing that his father was still worrying for him, he replied, "Don't worry, dad! Kiyomi and Izumi were very nice to me. We talked a lot while eating, they were funny and seemed nice."
His parents smiled, looking at each, they were sure that that it seemed like their son would have good friends. His dad then saw a McDonald's, so he drove to it, going through the driveway. They ordered their food, and Hiroshi ordered a happy meal with nuggets. After they got their food, they started heading towards their home, talking with each other.
As they arrived at their home, His dad parked their car in the garage as they got out of it. Hiroshi immediately went to the kitchen to eat his happy meal. His parents just smiled at how excited Hiroshi was to open it. After they ate the food they ordered, Hiroshi decided that he wanted a quick shower. He grabbed some clothes from his drawer, and went inside the shower.
After some minutes, he finished showering, grabbed his books, and started to do the homework he received from his teacher. He started to answer math and then the rest of the other subjects. He finished after a few hours as he went to play some games before going to sleep. He was enjoying playing when his mother came to his room, knocking before opening the door
Mrs. Hikaru, "Hiroshi? You should go to bed now; you still have school tomorrow."
Hiroshi, "Ok, mom, I'll go to sleep now. Goodnight mom." As he turned off his game and went to his bed.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Mrs. Hikaru "Goodnight, son, sweet dreams." She turned off the lights of his room and left.
After the door closed, the glow in the dark stars that Hiroshi's parents put up on the ceiling of his room began to glow. He counted how many stars there were, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.
As Hiroshi fell fast asleep, he began dreaming.
Hiroshi found himself in a mystical forest, the leaves of the trees in this mystical forest were all white. It was a wonderful sight, seeing all of those wonderful whites up above his head
Hiroshi asked to himself out loud with a tone filled with wonder, "What is this place?"
As he wandered around, he could feel a gentle, cold breeze that somehow felt warm at the same time. The white leaves swayed alongside the breeze, and Hiroshi found the sight of it to be beautiful. Suddenly, a huge gust of wind happened forcing Hiroshi to shield himself, closing his eyes. When Hiroshi opened his eyes, he found a white, nine tailed fox beside his foot that was looking at him
Hiroshi, "Whoa, a fox... Its white…." the sight left him stunned
The white fox looked majestic all over, the fox's fur looked like the softest one you will ever have; and the eyes of the fox had a pure purple color that suited the fox. Its majestic 9 tails swish from right to left. The fox was beautiful and majestic, in other words. Hiroshi tried to touch it, but the fox suddenly jumped towards his face. Expecting his face to be hit, he closed his eyes and waited for the impact. But it never came, so he opened his eyes and saw that the fox was nowhere to be seen. He looked to his back, and to the sides but there was no sign of the fox; it's as if it had vanished. Suddenly, the majestic forest started to appear all blurry, and he heard the words
"Wake up, Hiroshi. Wake up; you might be late to school." the voice sounded distorted to him
The voice abruptly ends his dream
Hiroshi woke up to be shaken up by his mother, as he opened his eyes and rubbed them, he looked at his mom
Hiroshi, half awake, said, "Good morning, mom."
Mrs. Hikaru gently asked, "Good morning, son, how was your sleep?"
With a yawn, Hiroshi replied, "My sleep was fine, mom."
Mrs. Hikaru, "Go take a shower and get into your uniform. Then come downstairs, breakfast is ready." She walked out of his room and went downstairs.
Upon fully waking up, he went to the bathroom as he started to take a shower, taking off his clothes and then entering the shower space of his bathroom.
*??? POV*
As I woke up from my sleep, I sat up and thought to myself
???, "It would appear that my soulmate has been marked." - As I said this in my thought as I got up from my bed-
I stretched as I walked towards my balcony and looked at my family's garden, smiling as I saw the white flowers bloom and the servants taking care of them. I then started to think to myself again
???, "Though, that being said, I did not see any tail in that dream, but just the mark appearing in the cheeks of a person whose face was blurry. Is my soulmate a human?" As I asked myself in thought as I started to wonder about the possibility of my soulmate being a potential human.
???, "Controlling him would be easier if he were to be a normal human, and from what I heard from mother and father, humans are not prideful, so that is its own plus. However, it would also mean double security for him." I thought of this while walking back and forth my room, trying to see and weigh the cons and pros of all possibilities to be ready for it.
While I kept pondering in thought, my 9 tails kept swishing back and forth. I then heard a knock in my bedroom door and I heard them say
???'s Butler, "Miss, breakfast is already being served, and your parents are waiting for you." -I heard the voice of my personal butler.-
I decided to think about this later, after breakfast. After all, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I changed my nightgown to something more, and once I was done changing, I opened the door to my room before proceeding to the dining hall, where I was greeted by my servants.
*End of ??? POV*
As Hiroshi finished showering, he put on his uniform as he went downstairs, and he greeted his father
Hiroshi, "Good morning, dad!" He said this to his father as he sat down beside him.
While busy reading the news, Mr. Hikaru asked, "Good morning, son, how was your sleep?"
Hiroshi, "I slept well, dad, Thanks for asking. What's for breakfast?" as his stomach started to growl
Mrs. Hikaru, "Our breakfast today is bacon, egg, and miso soup." while handing over the food
Hiroshi, "They look delicious, mom! Itadakimasu!" said as he devoured the meal
Mrs. Hikaru curiously asked, "So, Hiroshi, did you dream of anything?"
While stuffing his mouth Hiroshi replied, "Yeah, I did dream of something weird; I was in a forest that looked very mystical, the leaves of the forest were all white, like they were covered in snow, yet it wasn't."
Mr. Hikaru said, "Well, that is certainly weird," as he sipped his coffee
As they continued to eat and talk to each other, they soon finished. Hiroshi and Mr. Hikaru then went to the car, and Mrs. Hikaru followed them as she locked the door to their house. As soon as Mrs. Hikaru put on her seatbelt, Mr. Hikaru started to drive towards the school of Hiroshi.
After 20 minutes of driving, they soon reached the school of Hiroshi. Hiroshi got off the car, and his mother rolled down the window of their car as she said,
With a worried voice, Mrs. Hikaru said, "Hiroshi, be careful in school."
Hiroshi, trying to reassure his mom, said to her with a smile," I will, mom, don't worry. Bye, mom, bye, dad." As he headed into his school
His parents started to drive towards their work as Hiroshi met up with Izumi and Kiyomi. Kiyomi started the conversation by saying
Kiyomi said, "So, what should we play today?" as she asked Hiroshi and Izumi as they walked toward their classroom.
Hiroshi suggested, "Maybe we should play tag?"
Izumi pointed out, "Won't that be a disadvantage? Wolves run very fast."
Hiroshi, "You are correct, it's a disadvantage to us; then what are we going to do?" He said this while looking at Kiyomi
Kiyomi, "I'll be going easy on you guys; I won't run at my top speed."
Hiroshi, already excited to play, said, "Well, alright, then I don't mind, I guess."
With his iconic lazy tone, Izumi said, "Well, since you all voted to play tag, I guess we'll play it later after class."
Izumi, "What a pain! I just wanted to rest under the sun and not do anything today." He quietly mumbled to himself, not loud enough for Hiroshi to hear but certainly loud enough for Kiyomi, who glared at him
Soon after agreeing to play tag, they arrived at their classroom as the other students also started arriving. Once their teacher saw that all of her students were inside the class, she started to teach the students.
Teacher, "Open your English book to story 2." while she rapidly turned to a page.
-4 years later-
Hiroshi is now 9 years old, and his relationship with Izumi and Kiyomi is strong. They were the best trio and out of all of them, Hiroshi was the smarter, Kiyomi was the most diligent and Izumi was the laziest one out of the group. Izumi was often scolded by Kiyomi for being lazy and not doing much work. While Hiroshi just watched from the sidelines every time, either eating or drinking milk tea,. It was clear as day to Hiroshi that Izumi liked Kiyomi; Izumi pondered whether this smart friend of theirs was dumb as a brick. While Kiyomi did not know what to feel about this,
As of the moment, Kiyomi is again scolding Izumi because he did not do his homework.
Kiyomi exclaimed, "We had 2 days to complete this homework; why did you not do it?!"
Using his usual excuse, Izumi said, "I was too lazy to do it, ok?"
Kiyomi started to rage, "There you go with that reason again!"
Izumi countered, "It's too much homework, and this homework was hard."
Kiyomi angrily said, "What do you mean, it's hard?! It's basic English, you numbskull!" while smashing Izumi with a book on the head
While trying to find a perfect excuse, Izumi said, Wel- Well, I also had to do other homework.
Kiyomi got mad as she grabbed Izumi's backpack.
Izumi, "Hey! Why did you take my bag." as he tried to fight for his backpack
Kiyomi brought out the books that they had assignments on, and she started to see if Izumi had done the homework for the other class. She checked all of the books, but she saw that none of them were answered.
With a scolding tone, Kiyomi said, "See! You did not do a single one of the assignments!"
Kiyomi then started to lecture about being responsible and how neglecting homework can lead to failing grades, meaning that he can't graduate or go to the next grade. Izumi kept on trying to counter Kiyomi but he kept on failing
Hiroshi said as he finished his milk, "Why don't you calm down Kiyomi? You and I both know he is lazy because he is a neko."
Kiyomi and Izumi stopped and looked at Hiroshi
While stunned, Izumi said, "You were so quiet; I thought you were absent today."
Kiyomi, "Were you there from the beginning?"
Hiroshi, with a calm tone, said, "Yes, from the very beginning, I was here listening to you 2 bickered with each other as I ate."
*Flashback*
As Kiyomi was scolding Izumi, she could see Hiroshi silently sitting down at the seat that was across from them. He ate his food and watched Kiyomi and Izumi argue about doing and not doing the homework. He looked at them as if he were seeing lovebirds fight each other for dumb reasons. He kept on eating as Kiyomi and Izumi kept on fighting each other. As Hiroshi kept on eating peacefully, he started to do his math homework right there. It has been a habit for him to do his homework during lunchtime as he focuses on the other subjects. Hiroshi finished his math homework quite fast, and he looked towards Kiyomi and Izumi to see that they were still arguing, and that's where he decided to speak to them.
*End of flashback*
Currently, the 3 of them are walking towards their classroom. They entered the classroom right on time as the school bell rang. Hiroshi, Izumi and Kiyomi sat on their assigned seats. When the teacher entered, he saw all the students on their seats.
Teacher, "Okay, class, let's begin today's lesson. Please bring out your books and turn to page 154." as he said to his students as he started writing on the blackboard.
As they all opened their books to page 154 and the teacher saw it, he began to teach the students. Izumi, being a neko, started to fall asleep due to how bored he was. While Hiroshi, who was a perfect scorer, paid attention to the teacher, as for Kiyomi, she looked towards her side as she sighed and started taking notes for Izumi as she saw him sleeping, knowing he would beg her for them.
The teacher explained the fundamentals of the lesson as Hiroshi and the other students, except Izumi, started taking down notes to use for studying. Apart from Kiyomi being the one taking notes for Izumi, she also acted as a tutor to Izumi, so she had the responsibility to look after Izumi.
After a while, the school day ended, and the 3 of them, Kiyomi, Izumi, and Hiroshi, were at the gate of the school. They were waiting for their parents; Hiroshi was trying to call his parents, but both of them would not respond, and Hiroshi thought they were busy, so he had to walk.
Concerned for Hiroshi's safety, Izumi asked, "So, are you sure you don't want a car lift to your place? It's dangerous, especially for you."
Kiyomi offered," Want me to ask my parents to drop you off at your house?"
Hiroshi, upon hearing what Izumi said, thought to himself that it was indeed quite dangerous for humans to be outside alone, especially when the human is a child. Being born to the lowest species there was, it was quite tough, as most of the good jobs were mostly occupied by people with animal features, and humans basically had almost no priority.
After careful thought, Hiroshi replied, "If it isn't too much trouble, Kiyomi, I would like that."
Kiyomi, "Alright then, you know the way to your house, right?"
With an assuring tone, Hiroshi replied, "Yeah, I know the way to my house."
As they were talking, the parents of Kiyomi and Izumi arrived to pick them up.
Izumi, Well, it looks like it's time we all go home.
Both Hiroshi and Kiyomi replied, See you tomorrow, Izumi. As he and his parents drove off
Hiroshi followed Kiyomi to her car, and when Hiroshi saw the parents of Kiyomi, he then bowed his head in sign of respect for their status. Kiyomi's parents saw Hiroshi
Mr. Aoki asked his daughter curiously, "Kiyomi, who is this young fellow?"
Kiyomi respectfully replied, "Dad, he is my friend, Hiroshi. His parents aren't answering his calls and it's dangerous for him to walk to his home."
Upon looking at Hiroshi and seeing no animal features on him whatsoever, the mother of Kiyomi got the reason why it was dangerous so she said
With a welcoming smile, Mrs. Aoki said, "Well, then, come on. Come inside the car."
Hiroshi, "Thank you, ma'am and sir." As he said with respect in his voice
Kiyomi entered the car as Hiroshi followed her inside the car. Once Hiroshi closed the door, the father of Kiyomi started to drive towards their house as Hiroshi told them the exact name of the street that they were living in. The father of Kiyomi kept driving and then he asked Hiroshi this question
Mr. Aoki curiously asked, "So, what's your full name, kiddo?" as he asked, trying to find out more about Hiroshi.
Hiroshi respectfully replied, "My name is Hiroshi Hikaru."
Upon hearing his name was Hiroshi, Kiyomi's mother lightly smirked and looked towards her daughter in secret, as if telepathically saying
Mrs. Aoki said, "So this is your crush, huh?" as her smirking told Kiyomi of what her mother was thinking off.
Kiyomi begged her mom with pleading eyes, "Mom, please don't."
Kiyomi's mother smirked more as she then decided to ask Hiroshi this
Mrs. Aoki teasingly said, "So~ Hiroshi, what do you think of Kiyomi?
Kiyomi: "MOM!...." as she yelled with an obvious blush on her face
Hiroshi: "What do you mean, ma'am?" He asked densely.
Mrs. Aoki: "Well, do you think that Kiyomi is pretty?" as she said to Hiroshi, trying to clarify her question.
Hiroshi, oblivious to what Kiyomi's mother was trying to say, said, "I think she is a very pretty person, ma'am. She's also very kind, always helping those in need."
Upon hearing those words from Hiroshi, Kiyomi began to glow red from embarrassment
Mrs. Aoki laughed and said, "I see you as one of those guys."
Hiroshi, "What do you mean, ma'am?"
While trying to avoid eye contact, Kiyomi said, "I don't know whether to thank you or to be disappointed." as she tried to hide the red glow of her cheeks
Mrs. Aoki teasingly said, "C'mon now, Kiyomi, are you sure you want him to know?"
With an intense glare at her mom, Kiyomi exclaimed, "I did not mean that!"
Mrs. Aoki said, "Hiroshi, my daughter has...", as She was about to reveal it when her daughter stopped her by interrupting her
Kiyomi strikingly butted in, "Do I have the passion to play the piano?? Yes, he does!"
Confused, Hiroshi added, "You never told me and Izumi that?"
Kiyomi's mother almost laughed at what was happening while Hiroshi was confused for the entire way to his house, and he said to himself "girls are confusing". After 20 minutes of driving and talking with the parents of Kiyomi, they reached Hiroshi's house and Hiroshi got out of the car as he said
Hiroshi, "Thank you, Sir Aoki and ma'am Aoki." In respect as he bowed down
Kiyomi and his parents said that he was welcome to be dropped off by them any time again in the future and bid him farewell. Hiroshi bid them farewell as he went towards his house. As he reached the door to his house, he saw that the lock was broken. He pushed it lightly and saw that the door was not closed. He was getting chills as he entered his house cautiously.
Softly Hiroshi said, "Mom? Dad?" as he entered his house slowly but surely, trying to find where they were.
Once he was inside, he saw the kitchen in a wreck and the living room, and it looked like there was a sight in his house. He slowly went to the kitchen, as he saw it was more damaged than the rest. As he entered the kitchen slowly, he could see that there was a struggle. As he went behind the kitchen counter, he saw something that he had never wished to see.
There in front of him, behind the kitchen counter, were the dead bodies of his father and mother. He was shocked beyond words. He felt as if his entire body broke as he stared at the dead bodies of his parents. As he continued to stare longer due to shock, his eyes began to fill up with tears after recovering from the shock. He collapses to his knees, crying and shouting
Hiroshi, "MOM! DAD!" Flooded with emotions, these were the only words he could muster
He continued to shout and cry loudly until a nearby passer by heard it. The nearby passer by was about to knock when he saw the door was busted, so he entered it cautiously, and he followed the crying voice of Hiroshi. As he continued to walk, he saw how damaged the house of Hiroshi was, and when he finally found Hiroshi, he found out why the kid was crying.
His first reaction was to check if the 2 people have any kind of pulse. He put his hands in their throats to see if there was any form of breathing and he saw there was none. He saw how hurt and broken Hiroshi looked, so he went slowly towards him as he was begging to envelope Hiroshi in a hug. Hiroshi was too busy to see what the guy was doing, and then he suddenly felt like he was being hugged and he cried in the arms of the stranger.
