"I told you, Ayame, your father has already arranged your marriage already. Leave that friend of yours at school."

"He's not just a friend! He's my boyfriend, mother!"

"Again with that nonsense. You need to snap out of your little fantasy."

"What will I have to do to get my way? I don't want to get married and I don't want to take over the family business."

"Nothing. You can't escape your fate."

Ayame's blood boiled and she clenched her fists,

"This isn't fate. It's tyranny. Just you watch, mother; I'm going to make my own path."
