SOTB-008 I was bullied, became withdrawn, and grew up carrying a twisted mindset while remaining inexperienced in romance. My childhood friend was the only one who kept caring about me. But all I could do was silently hurt a frail, innocent beauty… Nagisa Himawari

When Himawari returns to her hometown, she looks forward to seeing her childhood friend’s older brother again. But the brother, now withdrawn and gloomy, ignores her and takes advantage of her feelings for him, treating her cruelly. Himawari is subjected to repeated non-consensual acts, including while she sleeps, and is forced into degrading situations from behind and in secluded places. Even when she asks why he is doing this, he gives no answer. Believing it to be a twisted form of affection, Himawari continues to obey him.
