Yep, how are you guys. I apologize if this fanfic is a mess. In this chapter will tell new life lincoln in new city. this fanfic is inspired by japanese not from japan but I love their culture especially manga. Let's just go to the story.
Chapter 3: a sad reality.
After a long journey, Lincoln arrived in town Kyouya. He was surprised that the city has many writings such as the kanji or Japan or anything. Most important, he must find a new place to live and find work. Lincoln knows he will be asked about his family and where he lives. Maybe some people will take him to the police or the orphanage but Lincoln doesn't care about it. He had to be honest. Lincoln would say that he has been living alone since childhood. He did not know if he has a family or no. then, how does he know his name? He said "I only see on TV and the name sounds cool ".
After thinking about all that, Lincoln is ready to start a new life. He asked the people where he could find a place to stay with a cheap price. he was confused because the names of the people in this city is weird. They have a name that is difficult to read and their dialect is a little weird. But behind all of that, the city was all look more neat and tidy. The city looks like a large city in Japan. He also did not have a lot of money because he has helped a lot of people who met on the road.
He could not ignore those people who are more in need of help on him, especially young children. He is like looking at myself like him when he's still be homeless. Loneliness, pain, grief all converge into one. Especially, he often saw little kids who ask for money for their parents who are sick. Lincoln knew, he had to have money for himself but he prefers to help people. Even though he did not get anything in return Lincoln did not bother about it accord to Lincoln, a cool person is not seen from the treasures, the social status and the luxurious doesn't matter if you're a famous artist, the President or the richest man in the world, if you ignore people who need help, they are not cool. This world teaches us to help one another.
"What are you doing Lincoln focus" he said as he slapped his cheek.
Lincoln sits in a park bench and sees a family picnic playing with their families and laughs with their families. Lincoln sees them with a sad expression. He has lived alone without a family. He wants to have such a comforting moment like that. But, he was no longer recognized by his native family. Looking at the beautiful scenery it makes Lincoln cry and adds wounds in his heart.
"Mister why are you crying?" Said a little girl who was 5 years old.
"Ah * sniff * I'm okay" Lincoln said as he sniffed his nose.
"Then keep smiling mister hehe" said the little lady with a big smile.
"Well OK. Nina play as much as you want" said the man near the little girl.
This man is like her big brother so Lincoln doesn't need to keep an eye on the little girl.
"Yo you're new here" said the man.
"Um yes I'm new here"
"May I sit next to you?"
"Of course" Lincoln gave him room to sit next to him.
"Yo I saw you earlier at the station you look like a lost child bahahaha" said the man with laughter.
"Ah Really? I do not think so," Lincoln said with an embarrassed expression.
"I also see from your face that this city has writing that you do not understand also people in this city
have a strange name is not it?"
"Yes you are right I want to know about all that Can I ask about this city to you"
"Of course, but before that my name ken asado what is your name?" The man said, looking at Lincoln with confusion.
"My name is Lincoln. What's your name?" Lincoln said with a bewildered expression.
"You can call me ken"
Lincoln looks troubled to mention his name.
"I understand, your trouble for mentioning my name. Okay I will give you a bit about the city. The city has people with names that are difficult to read. because, it is filled by immigrants from Japan. And, the odd writings that often you see on the street, it is hiragana or Japanese writing. Many Americans here confusion when they first come here. But, eventually they will understand all of this. But for hiragana, not here too is at stake because we live in the U.S., which means we have to use English as a new language. "
"Then, if they don't wear their language why they write it?"
"Art and graphic design. You already know the answer."
"woah ..." said Lincoln with shock.
After that conversation, ken taught Lincoln what he needs to know. Starting from the mention of the names of the Japanese correctly and others. After two hours, finally Lincoln could adapt to the new environment. Ken impressed with all this because the average new person usually takes a month to learn. But, Lincoln learn all this with quick and responsive.
Ken is a Japanese immigrant who has lived in kyouya for 2 years. He has a short posture like a middle schooler. he has black pompadour hair. He has a scar on his left cheek. At the first time, Lincoln thinks he's a delinquent, but instead he's a nice, cheerful and relaxed person. Do not judge a person by appearance, that's what lincoln got when, he chatted with ken .
"Brother Let's go home I'm hungry" said younger sister ken.
"Well let's go home see you again Lincoln" said ken to Lincoln.
"All right. See you ken "
After learning about the city. Lincoln felt ready to face the day with full gusto. In the end he finds the House boards low prices. Lincoln was surprised, he gets the House boards with a price of 50 dollars for one month. Lincoln was curious why the price is so cheap he could understand why the price could be cheaper by 50 dollar Lincoln get one empty room without extra bed and without any items. The rooms are very spacious and adequate for one person only. But the most important is, Lincoln has its own bathroom in his room. So, Lincoln didn't have to wait for a turn to use the bathroom. After that, Lincoln agreed that he would have to pay 50 dollars every month.
One month after getting a new residence.
Lincoln lives a peaceful life. He works as a dishwasher, cleaning service at a mall and as a cashier at works three jobs one day at a time. From there, his life is very tiring there is no day off for him. But he does not complain with all that he likes his job. He can earn at least 200 dollars per month. It is not worth what he does but it is better than nothing.

But, unfortunately he has to end that happy life because the place he works is gone and he ends up in the orphanage. He's been lying to everyone about his identity. He's seen like a 20-year old but he's just a 14-year-old boy. His landlord kicked him out because Lincoln did not pay his room rent for more than 4 months. That's why he ended up in an orphanage.
