I want to die… 

After being betrayed by Ryusei, I was stripped naked in a rusty-smelling warehouse and violated repeatedly by dozens of men.

At some point, I lost consciousness, my mind shattered, and I became nothing more than a toy to satisfy their lust.

They filmed the whole thing and threatened to expose the video to my school and friends if I ever spoke to the police or my parents.

On the second day, they forced me to take some kind of drug, and when I woke up, I was in my bed, in my room.

My mother rushed to me, tears streaming down her face as she hugged me… What was that? A dream? A terrible nightmare…

Betrayed by the boyfriend I loved, turned into a sex toy by those thugs, and assaulted non-stop for two days…

I’m so glad that awful dream is over… It was just a dream…

“Mom, I’m going to take a shower…”

Mom insisted on coming with me out of concern, but I declined, saying, “I’m not a child,” and went to wash myself in the shower.

“Owwww!!”

A sudden pain in my stomach made me double over, and as I collapsed to my knees, I noticed the water flowing down beside me turning red.

When I realized it was coming from my lower abdomen, I understood…

“Nooooooooooooo!!!”

I screamed in panic as pain and the sight of blood pouring from my body overwhelmed me. My mother rushed in, frantic.

“Shizuku!? Shizuku!!!! What’s happening!? Where is all this blood coming from!? I need to call an ambulance!!”

Seeing my mother’s panicked face, the pain became too much, and I lost consciousness.

When I came to, I was staring up at a white ceiling.  

As I looked up, I saw a bag of fluid hanging above me. Moving my left hand slightly, I felt the sting of the needle embedded in it.

Turning to my right, I saw my mother, who looked relieved.

“Thank goodness, you’re awake. You had us worried for a while…”

Her hand, cool and soothing, gently stroked my head, helping me to calm down.

“S-Shizuku!!! Are you okay!?”

My father burst into the room, still in his suit, probably rushing back from work.

“D-Dad, this is a hospital! Can’t you be a little quieter?”

My mother scolded him, and he gave an embarrassed smile. The familiar scene made me laugh, feeling like it had been forever since we were all together like this.

[Knock-knock] 

“Excuse me.”

A man, who I assumed was the doctor, entered the room, followed by two female nurses.

“Himeno-san, how are you feeling?”

“For now, I don’t feel any pain or anything like that…”

One of the nurses in the back was taking notes, while the other was preparing an injection.

“The parents are here, so I will now explain your daughter’s condition. Please stay calm as you listen.”

The doctor and the nurses in the back seemed tense, their faces stiff. My parents, too, looked pale as they braced themselves for what the doctor was about to say.

“First of all, Shizuku Himeno-sama was pregnant.”

“What!?” “Pregnant!?”

My parents and I were shocked, but I had a different, more pressing question.

“You said was… in the past tense?”

The doctor hesitated before speaking.

“Yes, unfortunately, the fetal tissue was expelled.”

“”…””

My parents and I were silent, each of us overwhelmed by a mix of emotions.

“And now, I need to tell you something very important… It’s difficult to say, but there are clear signs that your daughter suffered repeated trauma to her uterus before the fetal tissue had a chance to stabilize.”

“!!!” 

“W-What… what does that mean?” 

My father asked, his voice trembling.

“While I can’t be certain… it appears that she may have been assaulted by multiple individuals…”

“!?” 

“My daughter… no, it can’t be…”

“And I am deeply sorry to say this, but the placenta inside your daughter’s uterus has been damaged beyond repair. It’s unlikely that it will ever function normally again… I’m truly sorry…”

“No… Shizuku… my Shizuku…”

My mother broke down in tears, while my father clenched his fists so tightly in anger that blood began to seep from them.

Even the nurses in the background were wiping tears from their eyes.

“But… but… it can be healed, right? I mean, I’m only 17, and I’m still growing…”

“I’m sorry, but…”

“No… this can’t be… I can’t have babies anymore? I… I… Noooo!!!”

“Sedative, quickly!”

As I started to thrash around, the doctor held down the area near my IV, and the nurse quickly injected a sedative into the IV line.

My mind began to drift, feeling light and fuzzy. As I looked up, I noticed the name on the doctor’s badge: Iketsuki Hospital.
