JLPT N5 • GENERAL

お腹の中の新しい命とともに、過酷な世界を生き抜くこと。

My mother fell ill and passed away, and Naoji also took his own life, leaving behind a testament. Having seen off the two who perished while holding onto their pride as aristocrats, I was left all alone. However, within my womb, Uehara's child is growing. I will walk my own path and am resolved to survive this harsh world together with the new life we are bringing forth. The time for immersing myself in the beauty of the setting sun is over; I cannot help but take steps toward a new dawn.
