Childhood (1)

12 years ago.

The sky was dark, small bits of rain came pouring over the small village, situated just behind a mountain. Luckily, it was not pouring hard or there will a landslide.

A little girl skipped happily over the puddle of water as rain poured down from the sky. She was on her way home from the village's local elementary school, which was the only school they have.

The little girl was wearing a green raincoat, with a design of a frog cartoon character, coupled with a green boots. She was holding a green umbrella with the same design as her raincoat.

"Little Ayami, are you going home alone? Where's your mom and dad?"

A villager asked out of concern. It wasn't that it was dangerous in the village, in fact, it was completely safe here. Still, seeing a little child going home alone, the villager couldn't help but worry.
