             I had just started elementary school
             when my father jumped off the train,
  platform of the Yama-no-te line in Tokyo, ending his life.
           President of his own company, Tairiku,
       Industries, my father had been ousted from his
      position by his enemies and pursued to his death.

            To pay back our enormous debts, my mother
           went to work, pushing herself too far until
                   she, too, collapsed and died.
            Eiichi was my brother, eight years above
            me.  We were taken away from each other
             and passed around to our relatives to be
            raised. Eventually, we lost contact
            with each other. We had lost everything.
          Last summer, Eiichi showed up on my door again.
          He was twenty-five, but drove an expensive car.
             He had worked hard to get where he was.



           'I found the person responsible for father's '
                    death! he told me.
         According to my brother, a man who worked
             under my father named Shoji Okamura
           engineered my father's downfall from the
                        beginning.

        'Now it's time to get revenge on the enemy of
                our family! Will you help me?
              'I'll do it!' I replied immediately.

           I started to collect information on Shoji
                           Okamura.....
          My brother bought the house next to the
        Okamuras, and I moved in, pretending that my
         parents lived in America and I lived alone.
          I began to infiltrate the Okamura family.
         I pretended to be in love with the second
        daughter, Emi, and started going out with her.
        The oldest daughter, Yuki, helped me with my
         studies, while I helped Risa, the youngest
          This gave me a chance to bug the Okamura
         house, go through his trash, copy files off
         of the computer, and more. I reported it all
               faithfully to my brother.
             One day, Shoji Okamura disappeared,
               leaving the three sisters alone.

           My brother wouldn't tell me what his plan
           was,so I was as surprised as anyone when
             Shoji disappeared suddenly like that.
           I was never sure if the information I was
           getting was helping Eiichi get his revenge
                             or not.
                I was sure our revenge was over.
              But if so, why did I feel so guilty?

            Looking at stubborn Emi, crying like that,
          she'd lost her father, how could I be proud of
                        what I'd done?
             I realized I had fallen in love with Emi.
            Yuki quit school to work, to support
           the family. Risa-chan seemed cheerful
            enough, but I knew it was all a lie:
          she cried and cried the night her father
               left the three sisters alone.

               We had ruined a happy family, I
                 suddenly realized in horror.



            But the tragedy of the Okamura family
                 was still just beginning...
