5 years ago, tragedy

"Ding-dong-dang-dong" the school bells rang marking the end of the day and the start of summer holidays. Yuka was excited to see her cousins. She had planned everything already. She'd pick up her little brother, go to her house, straighten it up, wait for her parents, have lunch together, lock the house and head straight for their cousin's in Sapporo.

She picked up her kid brother and headed straight for her house. Near her house in the alley there were five boys. One of them was Yuka's ex-boyfriend Kaito. They saw her and stopped talking. The five of them started following her. She started walking faster and the five boys also picked up the pace. Yuka reached her house and took out the keys. Her hands were shaking but she managed to open the door. She took her brother inside and then went inside herself. She slammed the door but it was blocked from closing by Kaito.

"Come on its not like we're strangers, let me in will you?" Kaito said. "My friends were getting bored so I thought I might take them here."

"Please don't do this right now. I'll call the police."

"Ohh will you now?"

Kaito pushed the door open, making Yuka fall back. She tried to reach out for her phone but Kaito stepped on her hands. The remaining four boys came inside the house and bolted it shut.

"Oi Tamura, pick up this good for nothing boy and throw him inside one of the rooms. We're not here to listen to 'his' cries are we." One of them did so. Her little brother watched them tie Yuka up and do all kinds of degraded things to her and record it while he was there crying helplessly inside the room.

After an hour they left. Leaving Yuka tied up and naked in the sofa. Her face was blank with tears rolling out of her emotionless eyes. She was there for about half an hour until their parents arrived. They saw what had happened and broke into tears. They filed a complaint in the police but nothing happened. Kaito and the other culprits were not caught.

After about a month of the incident the case became public knowledge. A video was revealed showing the depravity of the culprits. The catch though was that this was an edited video with the faces of the culprits blurred out.

Yuka was struck with severe trauma and depression and was diagnosed severely mentally ill.

Her little brother Akira's life was turned upside down.
