Punishment
He was being punished. He'd been a bad boy. Saguru had broken the vase; he'd bumped into it when he was playing, even though Mother had told him to be careful, told him not to run in the house.
Saguru did bad things like that a lot, but it was on accident, it really was, even if Mother didn't believe him.
Saguru was a bad boy who did bad things, and that was why Father had left them and gone away to Japan; that was why Mother didn't love him.
