- Foreword -
Back again are you, dear readers? Well then, I welcome you. I, also, must caution you. These next confessions will be fast and come without warning most of the time. Deaths will happen at the drop of a hat and information will be revealed with little remorse or contemplation on whether it should or not.
There is much love in this book. Nearly all of the siblings get married, with the exception of the youngest four and the younger twins. Many children are born and many hearts are broken. Mistakes are made, both big and small. Lives are changed, for the good and the bad.
What affects the future is not always clear, I learned very early on. Who could possibly guess that people who die could actually live at the same time? What makes that so? Is there something bigger than us out there? Many teenagers question the last, and I will readily admit to being one of them.
Before you step into this next set of confessions, keep in mind that these confessions will fill nearly eight years. Little Hitomi starts off at the tender age of three and ends this set at ten. A lot can change in a long period of time, yet you will notice that many of the changes in this book take place in a matter of seconds. Entire parts of what make up some people change instantly because of one secret or revelation.
Open minds will know us best, as I have stated previously. As you meet and trust the enemies that will be revealed in later confessions, will you be able to look back at them the same again? Will you be able to still see a sad face and sympathize with it our will you damn it for the pain it will cause?
These are our transition confessions. They build us up and give us foundation for the hardships we will face in the future. They are something to fall back on so that we do not lose ourselves completely.
They are what they are, and that makes them precious.
And now, I present to you, our second set of confessions.
