Even if I was the sole person on the homefront who was aware of Riley's infidelity, I was forced to act as a standard three-year-old would, full of childlike wonder and innocence, something that, as time went on, was becoming more and more difficult for me.
Living day to day in the body of my child self, I found myself becoming further disgusted as I was subjected to things I had no memory of, for instance, Amanda's fake affection or being assaulted by family at every opportunity.
The only one whom I felt fine with receiving peppered kiss attacks from was the likes of Deeana, but when I laid eyes on Yumiko for the first time in decades, a plan began forming in my mind.
I knew better than most the back story behind Riley and the young Japanese girl, who was only 19 years of age.
Growing up in a very traditional family, when the gaijin *foreigner* came into her life, she was shown a side of the world she could only dream about.
