days of doing nothing after graduating and not getting a job. i knew i had to do something, but i didn't have confidence in myself, until that day—. my father brought marika-san, saying she was his new mother. at first, i couldn't accept that she would become my 'mother,' and i continued to stay locked in my room. but one day, the condoms i had hidden in the back of a drawer were discovered... marika-san gently taught me how to use them, to me who wanted to die from embarrassment...
