My home is a strange subject for all involve. The first home I have ever known would be the Kuragi mansion. I never considered that the house that my family has lived in for many a generation would be the house that holds the most painful memories to me. It should be the place that I remember as the house Kakeru and I grew up in. The only problem is how we left that place.

Kakeru left the mansion first with his mother. It is something that he does not regret. Being the illegitimate child, he has no reason to stay there. It was a relief for him to get away from all the talking and rumors that circulated around his status. My brother was able to be the smiling, stupid person he is now because he left that awful place so soon.

I stayed around until after my little brother was born. After the incident, everyone agreed that I should move out to my own apartment. At first, I was not sure if I could survive being alone by myself at the tender age of 15. In retrospect, it is the most freeing time I can remember. Living on my own allowed me to breakaway from all the rules and customs of the Kuragi household. Only during those scant times that we returned to the mansion were we to follow the house rules.

I never imagined that I would ever had to return to the mansion. I also never imagined that I would run away from the mansion either. While I understand the reasons for my captivity, I much prefer the freedom. Once more, I choose freedom over safety.
