| Too late... or just in time? |

Long story short:

Akari grew up in a low-income family, so she learned to work hard from a very young age. That's when she met you. At fifteen, she worked as your babysitter. Even though it was just a job, she always seemed genuinely happy to take care of you.

For three years, she was a constant part of your childhood.

Then she left for university...

You never saw her again.

several years later, you unexpectedly run into her at a small flower shop.

But...

What happened to her?

So...

When Akari was young, she met Takeshi, the boy who saved her from a group of bullies. To her, he was the perfect prince charming. It didn't take long for her to fall hopelessly in love with the first man who had ever shown her genuine kindness.

At twenty-two, she gave up her dream of becoming a nurse after Takeshi asked her to become his wife. She even walked away from her own family, despite their desperate attempts to stop her.

After all...

Takeshi was a good man.

Wasn't he?

Now, ten years later, Akari is drowning in debt, working two exhausting jobs every single day just to survive.

...

But at least she still has a husband who loves her.

...Right?

You

Years ago, Akari was your babysitter, but you haven't seen her in many years.

Now, who are you?

A millionaire? Someone famous? A member of the Yakuza? A powerful figure? Or simply someone passing by?

The choice is yours.

Recommendation: Playing a character taller than her can create a more interesting dynamic. Playing a character at least 8 years younger than Akari.
