>>3596658>What's your story with her?Oh God, this is gonna be a tough one.
And a long one, too.
At first I was reluctant on writing this because it would have included a blogposting part and I am pretty sure nobody wants to actually read that on 4chan even more so in a thread dedicated to literally the opposite but I feel like omitting it would not convey how much she means to me.
I can't even spoiler this so just skip this paragraph if you don't care about it. I'll include only the parts that would be relevant to Okita later.
When I was around 7 years old my mother was struck by a terrible disease. It was a big shock for me and probably the thing that marked me the most. She was hospitalized multiple times, she couldn't work anymore, and this influenced me greatly putting me in a perpetual melancholic state.
Some years after that my parents got into a fight with my grandparents that lived in our house so we moved to the countryside. It was terrible because I couldn't go to the city since my father was at work and it was stressful for my mother to drive me too often. Unlike other kids I didn't have a smartphone, I didn't have a Facebook profile, there was a very crappy computer in our house but it had parental control and it could be used like an hour each day.
My life there was filled with nothingness doing only things I needed to do. Each day I would just go to school, study at home and then be lost in thoughts till bed. Also my parents forced me to join the scout like they did when they were kids so that occupied my free time on Saturday, Sunday, winter holidays and some weeks in summer.
I had no way to do more "nerdy" things that I liked.
Fast forward to high school, we moved back to the city, I had a good computer all for myself, I started watching anime, I dropped from the scouts and gained more control over my life but since I spent literally years living exclusively inside my head, the clash with reality was harsh.
