Three years have passed since Ame and Yuki left their mother to pursue their two very different lives, but what does Ame decide to do when a problem comes along that only his mother can help him solve?
Hi, my name is Ame, I'm sure that my sister, Yuki, has told you the story of our lives so far, when we were born, our childhoods, our 'coming of age' so to speak, and - of course - who our parents are, or were... Anyway, I just wanted to tell you about what happened after we left, after she went to middle school and after mother let me live in the forest, although, this will be just about me, I don't know anything about my sister anymore.
Before we start the story that I want to tell you, I want to go back three years, back before sister left... Five months passed since the day I found my mother in the woods and brought her to safety, and I had been living in the forest, protecting the animals that lived in it. That's when decided to return home very briefly to see how mother and Yuki were holding up, much to her delight, that is. But soon after I arrived, I find out that my sister is only days away from moving into a dorm in her new middle school and away from mom. I feel sad for my mother, living here all alone with only my fathers drivers license to keep her company. But I knew that I can't help that, I had new responsibilities then, I had someone that I cared for deeply and I couldn't leave them... I quickly said my goodbyes and dashed off into the woods before sister came home from Souhei's house, not wanting to face her then, the cuts she inflicted on me were still too deep then. I swear I could hear my mother shout something to me as I ran, yet I ignored it and keep running.
I lived happily in the woods for a full three years after then, not once visiting my mother or sister again, I do regret that, but now that I have grown more and I have my own responsibilities, I need help... I need my mothers help...
