( Volume.2 )Prologue : The Monologue of Shizuka Mahina

I... have several scars on my body. These scars do me the favor of reminding me of all that I suffered at the hand of that man.

These are the same scars that remind me of the beatings and all kinds of torture I went through.

These are the same scars that made me ashamed to walk down the street.

These are the same scars that made me cry when looking at myself in a mirror.

These are the same scars that attracted looks of disgust and repulsion from the people of that city.

These are the same scars that made me lose my love for myself.

They say that for a girl, vanity is everything. But when it is taken away from her... what is left?

These scars hurt me a lot... But nevertheless, this pain is fleeting. I can learn to live with them, or even a good medical treatment using Nill can heal them.

I mean... all but one...

The scar of my mind.

It cannot be healed.

It won't go away.

It will not stop tormenting me until the last day of my life.

Never.

Never.

Never.
