The Dead One: Remake (Update!)

Chapter 60

Kuro: So the Aishiteru Family was cursed...

Saya: That's right...this whole thing happened before...Not just Misaki Aishiteru... Most of the people in the Aishiteru Family had suffered some form of bullying in their lives.

Kuro: So basically... genetical trauma.

Saya: Mhm. 

Kuro: You were in Mei's old home....

Though for Mei, it was never home...

Kuro had heard so many terrible stories that took place in that house.

Kuro: Mei did not had a easy childhood growing up.

Saya:...Go On.

Saya had told him about Aishiteru home. It was bigger than his apartment.

Mei's home was a Minka.

In short, it was a traditional japanese house.

Like any other traditional Japanese houses, Mei's hone was characterized by tatami mat flooring, sliding doors, and wooden engawa verandas. Another aspect that persists even in Western-style homes in Japan is the genkan, an entrance hall where people remove footwear. The flooring for the house proper is raised a little off the ground to prevent dampness from entering and to keep the living area from flooding in the case of heavy rain.

Kuro: From the day she was born, her father had already decided her future. He wanted her to be his successor instead of her twin brother. This infuriated her brother and he took his time throughout their childhood belittling Mei, insulting her, and treating her like trash. All that for being a successor to a large rich company throughout Japan.

Saya: Money can easily corrupt people. Example: Hinata-Senpai. Glad the fucker is gone though. Even children who hold an lot of intelligence. I see where he's getting at and his frustration as well. But that's no excuse to take it out on a family member. Even if they are the reason why you can't get what you want.

Kuro: Hai...Mei... didn't want that future...She wanted to decide for herself. But since her father wouldn't allow her to speak up for herself. He "discipline" her in order to make sure she never go against his wishes.

Saya clicked his tongue in disgust.

Saya: Discipline and abuse are two different subjects. Coming from you, it sounds like this family hasn't been treating Mei right.

Kuro: Yeah...her father and brother are horrible to her. Her mother just sits there and watch it all happen. No doing anything to lift A finger The other members of her family look down on her. The only person who truly cares about Mei in this family is Koutarou-Sensei.:

Saya: Why though?

Kuro sighs before continuing.

Kuro: You didn't hear this from me but... Koutarou-Sensei was treated like an outcast by their family. Even his own older brother shunned him. Their father wanted the successor, so he chooses Koutarou-Sensei's brother who is Mei's father...

Mei's father, Kenshi Aishiteru, was a very cruel man...

He would do anything to get what he wants. It was always "Yes, Sir" to him from his employees. Anything he viewed as a nuisance was nothing but a bug on the road that needed to be squished.

He would handle things only strictly for business.

Even if it meaning lying, deceiving, abuse, and having power.

Saya: Tch. He sounds like a piece of work. 

Chibi: He is...

Both Kuro & Saya looked at Chibi. How long has he been awake?
