The self-restraint measures continued, and the Western-style restaurant run by my father went bankrupt. Due to worsening finances, he was forced into debt by a shady group, the shop was seized, and my father went missing. With tuition payments overdue, my mother was working not only during the day but also taking night shifts at a factory. I felt I had to do something myself, but part-time jobs weren't bringing in enough money, leaving me desperate and unsure what to do. Around that time, I was introduced to someone through an enjo kosai group, which became the trigger for everything that followed. Then, I was called in by my homeroom teacher, Mr. Wakamatsu. He, too, turned out to be just another corrupt adult beneath the surface.
