Family Matters (3)

Haru sat in a dim corner, eyes overcast with tears. He had shut himself from the outside world because he was sure he didn't deserve to be with others, especially when people died because of his selfish ways.

It was difficult for him to get over the blame of lighting the fire, he gave up all his money to each and every family that was affected by the trauma. But the money couldn't bring back the lives that were lost.

He spent his days in silent solitude, having sleepless nights because of the voices, screams, sounds of sirens and the lucid image of the burning building.
