Kanako’s sister, Natsumi, visited with her daughter, Yuuna, and confided in Kanako about being mistreated by their relative, Miki. Miki ignored Kanako and targeted Natsumi, causing tension in the family. Kanako decided to stand up to Miki, surprising everyone with her assertiveness. Despite Miki’s defensive behavior, she eventually allowed Kanako to use the microwave. It became apparent that Miki’s aggression stemmed from her own insecurities. The family dynamics took a toll on everyone, and Kanako resolved to support her sister in confronting Miki’s hostility. The story continues in Episode 4.
Continuing from last time. It’s Kanako. My sister (Natsumi) returned home for the first time in a while with her daughter, Yuna (1 year old). When I listened to my sister, who had a depressed expression, she told me that while preparing for our father’s funeral, she was called a “nuisance” by our relative Miki, and was driven into an empty room. In addition, when she tried to use the kitchen, she was harassed and refused to use it. Unbelievable. For the next memorial service on the forty-ninth day, I decided to go with my sister when she meets Miki.
When I asked Miki what was bothering her, she replied, “It’s my presence.” I was surprised by her childish way of speaking. I approached her and asked if that was her intention. Miki seemed frustrated and at a loss for words. After that.
All the relatives gathered together. (Are you playing with me again?) (If it’s that kid, it’s true…) each of them said. No one is on Miki’s side. Seeing such a sight, I think the family is always disappointed…
Miki continuously ignores my existence and targets my sister, being mean to me.
However, this was also expected. I’m not as quiet as my sister, so I don’t have to worry about family relationships.
If they say something to you, say something back, and if someone does something you don’t like, stop them. My actions seem to have been unexpected for Miki.
Miki is nervous. While the relatives were gathered, she let me use the microwave.
It seems that Miki is more sensitive than I thought. Perhaps this is why he is so aggressive towards others.
To be continued in [Episode 4].
