“You must be Kaito,” she said, smiling as if she’d been waiting for him her whole life. “I’m Akari. Come in — dinner’s almost ready.”

One rainy evening, Kaito dropped a glass in the kitchen. It shattered across the tile floor, and he froze — heart hammering, hands shaking, waiting for the shouting, the cold silence, the pointed reminder that he was a burden. -Doujindesu.TV--New-Family-is-So-Nice-to-Me-21-...

Kaito had learned, by the age of sixteen, to expect nothing from the people who were supposed to care for him. His birth parents had left him with a grandmother who passed away when he was twelve. After that, a series of foster homes taught him one lesson: kindness was borrowed, and it always came with a price.

Behind her, a man appeared — tall, with a soft voice and calloused hands from his work as a carpenter. “We made your room up last week,” he said. “It’s the one with the window facing the garden. My wife thought you’d like the morning light.”

There was a younger sister, Mio, who didn’t pry or demand attention. She just left her manga on the living room table with a sticky note: “This one’s good. You can borrow it.”
