Summary
Reki has spent his whole life just trying to survive, too scared to show emotion or cry around the people who made lock it all away. Running away should’ve been easy if it meant freedom—right? But, unfortunately for him (and because I like writing angst), the past isn’t so easy to escape. Taken in by Kaoru and Kojiro, he struggles to accept the care they offer, haunted by the fear that it’ll all be ripped away. As he fights to suppress the pain of his past, his body begins to fail him, and he starts to spiral. But no matter how much he tries to lock it all away, the truth is catching up to him. And when it does, will he finally let himself break—and maybe, just maybe, be saved?
Or: "When I looked in the mirror, I didn't see anything but a “me” staring back. Everything looked normal, my eyes, my face... There wasn't even a trace of what happened. No one will notice. They never do."
Or: Reki runs away from his emotionally and physically abusive house hold and Kojiro (Joe) and Kaoru (Cherry) adopt him.
