Tokyo,11:00 pm, Monday 5th April

Mom is shouting. I am shouting. We insult each other. I can't handle it, no more. "Let me live my life!" I shouted at her. I ran out. I'll find a job. I'll find a flat. I'll be free.

Tokyo, 2:00 am.

"Harumi!" I hear someone. "Harumi, time to wake up!" It's mom. Mom? "MOM!" I shout. "No its just me, Tsatsuki. You should go to work." Just Tsatsuki. Not mom. Mom.

I'm sitting in the bus. I look out of the window but I don't see. I don't want to. Not now, after all. It's raining. I'll be sitting here for 2 hours. Then I'll go to the coffee shop where I work. I get the coffee machine ready. People start coming. "One coffee." "Two lattes." "One raspberry light coffee with milk and sugar." Okay. Wait,  I know someone who loved this drink. Mom. "Mom?" "Harumi!"

"I'm sorry... For all of it!" She huged me. I've been missing this. I've been missing mum. Mom. My mom.
