Family is only by blood

Sawamura Daichi always tried being a perfect child. Besides being captain of the volleyball team, he’s also top of the class. He’s the class representative for the student council. He’s never been tardy. He plans on going to college. And all of that for his family. So that the looks his mom gives him will no longer be of disgust and hatred, so that when he comes home with high-scores, it's not to a cold "you can do better" but a "good job" instead.

The words his "mother" just told him ring in his head, the panicked cries of his little siblings muffled. He turns on his heel and exits the house the way he came in not minutes ago. And he runs.
