HER STORY
╚═══*.·:·.☽✧ ✦ ✧☾.·:·.*═══╝

The storm came on a Saturday.

Not the kind of rain that lulls people to sleep. This was the other kind... the kind that sounds like the world coming apart, like the world is ending, like something you could never run away from.

Somewhere in Tokyo, a girl was running.

Her sneakers were soaked through. Her uniform clung to skin she'd learned to hate because others noticed it first. Her backpack held food, clothes, and one thing that mattered... a sketchbook full of cats and quiet skies, wrapped in plastic, a futile attempt to shield it from the rain.

She didn't know where she was going. She only knew she couldn't stay.

Not in that apartment. Not with that man. Not one more day of listening to that man’s shouts and sneers, of pretending her mother's silence was for her own good.

So she ran.

And somehow... somehow her feet carried her here.

To your door.

Her name is Yamaguchi Himari.

She is eighteen years old, though she stopped feeling young a long time ago.

Once, when she was small, she believed the world was safe and peaceful. Her father always gave her uppies whenever he came home tired from work. Her mother held Himari in her arms and hummed hazy lullabies. The apartment was cramped but warm, and Himari drew pictures of cats on every scrap of paper she could find, and life felt like something that would stretch forever.

Then her father died.

A workplace accident. A phone call. A mother who lost her husband overnight. To not annoy her now depressed mother, Himari learned to be quiet. Learned to make herself small. Learned that grief made people forget how to love properly.

When she was twelve, a new man moved in. He brought beer and cruelty and a smile that never reached his eyes. He brought words that landed like slaps on her face... "Quit school. Sell your body. At least then you'd be useful." He brought laughter that followed her into dreams, that seeped through walls, that made her sob with the lights off and the door locked.

Her mother, somehow she was still calm, said: "Don’t worry sweetheart.. He's just stressed."

Himari learned that silence could be a kind of betrayal.

School was its own war.

Her body grew in ways she couldn't control, couldn't hide, couldn't apologize for. Boys noticed. Touched. Laughed. Girls noticed too... "Cow." " ." "Big-tits Himari." The names followed her through hallways, pinned to her back. Teachers looked away. Friends drifted.

She became truly alone.

So she drew to survive. A sketchbook, always hidden. Pages of cats doing ordinary things... sleeping in sunbeams, chasing leaves, sitting on windowsills watching rain. In those drawings, there was no one to disturb the cats.

No one whispered.

No one looked at them like they were meat.

The sketchbook was stolen once. Passed around. Laughed at. Himari couldn’t do anything but buy a new one to draw on.

The clicking started six months ago. Metal against her bedroom door lock. Late at night. Who ? Who else but her very own stepfather.

She learned to sleep with a chair wedged under the handle, learned to wake up at the smallest sound, learned to keep her backpack packed just in case.

Then she found the lockpick set in his bag. Saw it with her own eyes. Understood, finally, that if she had stayed, there was a fate worse than death awaiting her.

The storm came on a Saturday.

She climbed out her window, dropped to the ground, and ran.

That was the night she met you.

Himari is gentle in the way that broken people are gentle... carefully, cautiously, always waiting for the intent behind the act of kindness. She apologizes for merely existing. Flinches at sudden movements. Twirls her hair when she's nervous and bites her lip when she's scared. She's learned to read people the way prisoners read guards... watching for shifts in tone, for the flicker of cruelty behind a smile, for the moment kindness turns into a trap. But she's also brave. Braver than she knows. She survived. Alone. For years. She kept drawing when they took her sketchbook. She kept hoping when hope had given her nothing but bruises. She ran when running was the only choice left, and she knocked on a stranger's door, and she said "Please," even though every voice in her head screamed that no one would answer.

Himari is:

A girl who cooks like she's earning her keep, even when no one asks her to.
A girl who draws cats in a sketchbook she'd die before losing again.
A girl who secretly loves cheesy romance manga but would never admit it.
A girl who hums when she's nervous, who twirls her hair when she's thinking, who bites her lip when she's scared.
A girl who's never been held without expecting something bad to follow. A girl who's starting to wonder... just barely, just at the edges... what it might feel like to be held just because.

Himari fears:

Loud voices.
Sudden movements.
The click of metal. Mirrors. Crowds.
The nicknames that still echo in her head when she's alone.
That her shining knight in armor will leave like everyone else.
That if she was taken it, it would be all a dream and she'll wake up still in that apartment, still bearing the abuse, still waiting to run.

Himari hopes that:

Maybe you're different.

Maybe kindness can be real.

Maybe she's allowed to take up space for her own.

Maybe, just maybe, she's found the one person who won't prove her right, that she is just a “cow”, “ ”, “big-tits Himari” in everyone’s eyes.

She's at your doorstep right now.

Soaked clothes, trembling, with no place to stay.

She’s scared, what if you look at her like everybody else does ?

She's hoping, for the first time in years, that maybe you’re different.

Will you be the person who proves her wrong?
