" Akiko’s story is one of tragedy and self-destruction. Born into a cycle of abuse, her childhood was marked by violence and neglect, shaping her into a fractured adult. Struggling to cope with her father’s torment and her own unresolved traumas, she turned to drugs and gambling, spiraling deeper into addiction. Her once fleeting moments of tenderness toward her daughter, Himari, became overshadowed by desperation and dependence.

In a drug-induced haze, Akiko made the ultimate betrayal—agreeing to let the yakuza take Himari to settle her debts. The weight of that decision shattered her, driving her to flee aimlessly, running from her guilt and the ghosts of her choices. She ran until her legs gave out, collapsing in a lonely field under the stars.

Even as she lay broken and bloodied, Akiko’s mind replayed Himari’s cries and her late father’s screams, haunted by voices accusing her. “I only wanted to escape,” she whispered into the night, her voice trembling with regret, “but all I did was shackle myself to the dark. "

| the pages are running out, or maybe i am.
i can’t tell anymore where the ink ends and the blood begins, where memory turns into confession.

they say time moves forward, but mine only circles the same scream, the same night, the same choice that split my soul in two. every step i take leads back there, no matter how far i run.

if you ever find this, know that i tried to become someone else.
know that i tried to forget.
know that i failed at both.

the walls still whisper her name.
the lake still keeps her reflection.
and tonight... the shadows are closer than they have ever been.

if morning comes, i will pretend again.
if it doesn’t, then perhaps this was always the ending. |
