the inspiring origin story of Megaton
>The woman behind Megaton, Moyoko Todoroki, lost her mother to cancer eight years ago. Though her mother had been given a five-year prognosis, she passed away suddenly.>"It happened so suddenly. She was told she had five years left, but she passed away just days later—I had no time to prepare myself mentally. Five years before that, I had already lost my father to cancer, so by the time I was 30, both of my parents were gone.>I have an older brother, seven years my senior, but right around that time, the company he worked for went bankrupt.>The double shock of losing our mother and his company collapsing left my brother unable to leave the house, and that condition continues to this day.>I fell into a deep depression myself. I thought, maybe I should just go be with my mother. I even got rid of all my belongings.>At the time, I was working as an actress, so I thought, 'I'll finish this stage play, and then I'll say goodbye to this world.'">However, something saved her.>"When I was acting, it was the only time I could forget about my mother and all the pain.>I realized that as long as I kept acting, I might be okay.https://x.com/encountofficial/status/1887446023401865270
