The moment she approached the kitchen, she saw it... Her father, his face twisted with rage, plunge a knife into her mother's heart. At the same time... he still seemed unsatisfied, constantly cursing her mother as some kind of monster, spewing every vile insult he could think of, saying she was a monster who could not even shed tears.
From her father's tone back then, it seemed he wanted her mother to cry. Yet even so, her mother did not shed a single tear. She only looked at him with grief, despair... and disbelief.
Still unwilling to accept it, her father pulled out the knife and stabbed her many more times.
Only then did he leave the kitchen, still unwillingly.
So I Stopped Being Human
Having witnessed such a horrifying scene, even though Hashiko Yui had been young at the time, she had been terrified.
When she noticed her father leaving the kitchen, she hid in a corner of the living room. Only after he had completely left did she burst into tears and run crying into the kitchen.
Then, looking at her mother lying in a pool of blood, she approached her body... and tearfully embraced her. Her mother, who had not cried until then, had a tear hanging at the corner of her eye the instant she saw Hashiko Yui.
After that tear fell from her mother's cheek, it turned into a tear-shaped crystal.
"Do you know why your father did that?"
After listening to Hashiko Yui's account, Rita gently sipped her tea as she spoke.
"I only learned later that it was for... Mother's tears, I suppose. Although I don't know what it really is... Ever since I obtained it, my mental state has always been excellent."
Hashiko Yui gripped the Yukina tear over her chest.
