My mother, who raised my brother and me alone after our father passed away early, was diagnosed with an illness two years ago. It was just after I had been accepted into a university in Tokyo and started living alone. "I got the job. I'll do whatever I can to help, so feel free to talk to me about anything." I couldn't give up on the dream of attending that university, so I started working part-time. The man who was kind to me, a shy person, was... a married man with a family.
