A terrible day couldn't possibly get any worse… right? But it did. Way worse. Because then I found out that my mom, my sister, my girlfriend, and even my childhood friend were all sleeping with the bastard who bullied me. And if that wasn't enough, they treated me like it was my fault.
"You're weak, Hiroki."
"You didn't save us, Hiroki."
But… was that really true? Of course not. I had poured everything I had into helping them, always trying to give them the best I could. I did everything they asked, even when it hurt me, even when it got me into trouble. And this… this is how they repay all that effort?
"Ha… hahaha… HAHAHAHAHA…"
Tears streamed down my face as I let out a laugh that bordered on madness, staring at that video. Just the thought that I once… used it to pleasure myself makes my stomach turn. I could maybe have handled it if it had been Nao, my girlfriend, or even Ayumu… but my own family?
I want to die. That thought keeps repeating itself in my mind. But… I'm not strong enough to actually do it. Slowly, the light in my eyes dimmed as an overwhelming emptiness spread through my chest.
I don't even know what's happening to me anymore. All I know is that, somehow… I feel free. Maybe it's this void inside me, like nothing in the world matters anymore. Yes… YES! Nothing matters. I can do whatever I want, and it won't mean a thing. HAHAHA!
A manic smile crept across my face.
About five minutes later, my face had gone cold and indifferent. I stepped into the shower, scrubbing and lathering myself until I felt numb.
After the shower, I checked the time—12 PM. They still hadn't returned. Looks like they were having fun with that bastard.
While getting dressed and fixing my hair, I decided it was time for a change. No more gel to spike it up—I'd go for a Quiff style instead. A cut with longer, voluminous hair on top and shorter sides.
Looking in the mirror, I had to admit… maybe I looked a little more handsome now. Hmm. Well, before going to bed, I'd get in some exercise.
By the time I finished my routine, it was already 12:30 AM. I lay down and finally drifted off. Tomorrow would be a new day of life… or at least, a day surviving as a living nightmare. I just hoped I could avoid all those… women.
