Manato, a second-year high school student, was starved for affection. His mother was always out working, his sister had been ignoring him for the past six months, and his childhood friend, who he thought was the only who loved him, said that she found someone else she liked. Still, Manato tried to get them to love him. But then he saw his mother, who usually had a tired look on her face, talking to his sister with a smile. That was when his heart broke.
