Their Own World

"His own mother poisoned him to death…"

WHAT?

"That's…"

Suzuki Ara was beyond speechless.

How was that possible? What kind of a mother would do that to her own child even because of the curse?

"His hatred for the Makuras, it's because growing up, he was constantly tormented, abused and condemned. He was constantly reminded that if he wanted to blame someone for his miserable existence, it was the Makuras who was the origin of their bloodline's downfall – his cursed existence."

Ara bit her lower lip. She could never imagine Kazehaya Gin going through all of those and still grew up being able to smile.

"It's not Emi's fault, but Gin-nii couldn't help but hate her anyway. It's the only way he could stay sane, I think," Ryuu said as he turned to Ara who looked like she wanted to protest.

"Don't worry. Gin-nii won't do anything to her," Ryuu said. "But just the same, in turn, there's nothing we can do to them."
