The wife is very decisive. Before marriage, she was more successful than her husband in her career, so after careful consideration, she decided to give up treatment. Her daughter was beyond saving, and she wanted to raise her two sons well so that they would not suffer anymore.
After discussing it with her husband, they reached an agreement to bring Mai home so that she could spend the rest of her life happily and no longer have to undergo painful treatments.
After that, the memory is a bit hazy. The Tsumabuki family only remembers that Mai, who was only six years old at the time, suddenly came to their bedroom and said something to them. Mai's expression was very cold, so cold that she didn't seem like a six-year-old child.
The wife and husband couldn't remember exactly what they said, but she did remember that the next day, they changed their minds and decided that they would do whatever it took to treat Mai, even if it meant going bankrupt.
There are many familiar scenes in the dream, as if they have actually happened, but the wife hates herself in the dream. How could she be such a puppet woman?
She was a top student who graduated from Kyoto University. Before she got married, her monthly salary was higher than her husband's. She originally planned to go out to work after Mai turned two, but who knew that Mai would be diagnosed with leukemia, and her career was ruined.
The couple looked at their son, who was still sobbing softly, hugged him, and gently patted him on the back. "It's alright, it has nothing to do with you. Mom and Dad have never blamed you, silly child!"
"Mom...is it really not my fault?"
"Of course not, don't overthink it. You are the best son and the best brother."
The wife hugged their youngest son tightly, but looked at Mai with an even more stern gaze.
Because she knew why her youngest son was crying and blaming himself; he had even dreamt about it.
The youngest son suffered from severe depression at a young age. He felt deeply guilty for taking away his sister's nutrition while she was in his womb, which made her weak and eventually led to her terminal illness. The couple initially suspected that someone outside was sabotaging them, but one day, she witnessed her daughter brainwashing her youngest son, saying those damned bastards.
She tried to stop her daughter, but her memory became confused and hazy. She didn't know what had happened. All she knew was that her home was becoming increasingly soulless, and everyone was like a puppet, being pulled by her daughter's strings, unable to go east or west.
"Mom, why are you looking at me like that?"
Mai Tsumabu deliberately asked, suppressing her anger. How could such a foolish mortal be so rude? After she leaves this temple, she will definitely make this annoying woman more gentle and virtuous. This is the kind of personality that this woman hates the most. She just likes to be stubborn and not let the people around her live well.
She was confined to her frail body and was not happy at all. Why could these people laugh happily and walk freely? She was determined to cause chaos.
She's happy when others are having a hard time.
"Look how pretty my maki is!"
The wife forced a smile, but her mind was on high alert. Her daughter was giving her a terrifying feeling, more frightening than a poisonous snake. But she couldn't back down, because she had to protect her son and couldn't let this monster harm him anymore.
Tsumabuki Minami raised her head, wiped away her tears, and looked at her sister with a strange expression.
Because he also had a strange dream in which he was weak and useless. Tsumabuki Minami hated this version of himself. He felt that he was mentally ill in the dream, and that the fetus did not even have thoughts. Even if he was physically strong, it was the result of natural selection. Why should he blame himself?
