TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

When Akira arrived at the Yamazaki mansion, she had a sense of déjà vu. The vehicles outside were quite familiar. In simple terms, they were the same ones there during the last event when she was asked to forgive 'poor, crazy Hanae'. 

She smiled sarcastically before she went into the house. 

As expected, when she stepped into the living room, she found the usual suspects. Her mother, Hanae, Kaoru, Kazuo and Chiharu were settled on the couches and were looking at her with a mixture of judgement, disappointment and some malicious glee. 

She lifted her eyebrows when she noticed that the two people she was told would be there were distinctly missing. 

"Where are Dad and Brother?" She asked Sayaka as she sat down on a seat apart from them. 

She did not feel or show any discomfort as she crossed her legs and leaned back more comfortably. Her attitude was so casual that it angered the people before her.
