With complete family...
With real friends...

But I wasn't.

I wasn't like any of them.

I'm just a girl, with a broken family...

I am just a girl who is always alone...

I am just after all,

Rue Sweet Lee.

The legal daughter of Gilbert Ashton Lee, who is my father, and Rowena Lillia Lee my mother. Whom his legal wife is.

But that doesn't matter to him isn't it?

Because he already have a new family, with her mistress.

And left us both...
My mother and I all alone...

...And broken.

My mother couldn't handle it.

So, she also decided to leave me...

She also abandoned me...

Well, not before apologizing to me, and telling me to be strong...

She hugged me and cried to me... inside my room.

And the time when my eyes felt heavy and I had unknowingly fell asleep...

And I had always...

...regretted it.

Oh, how God knows!!
How much I desperately keep wishing to turn back time...

That time...

That time when she...

...was still there...

I should've never closed my eyes at that time...

I should've been awake at that time...

To stop her...

To stop MY mother...

...Ending her life.

What I saw when I woke up?

The cruelest thing a child could witnessed...

It was her...

My mother, who was hanging, her pale, lifeless body...
Was...

...In front of me.

...Dead.

After that day...

My father took me in, with his new family.

But,

I never felt belong there...

It was like I'm the only one who is out of place in that 'perfect' family they delude themselves into.

It was the same everyday...

Every.

Single.

Day.

Until one night...

I was playing my favorite Otome game called 'The Strings Of Love'.

I have almost completed all the endings and routes of the game.

When suddenly I heard something or perhaps someone...

Then while walking out of my room then I,

I saw her,

I saw my stepmother with a man, doing something they shouldn't be doing.

She saw me and she was outraged.

What she did next was a common thing for me.

She beaten me up.

Kicked me, punched me, hit me. And so on.

But the thing is, I did not expect that this night was the last beating I'll be having with her... After all...

Why? You ask...?

It's because, while beating me up.
She didn't expect what would happen next.

She,

She had accidentally pushed me down the stairs and...

*Boggssshhhhhhhh*

You know what happened?

I died there, right on that spot.
If you're asking if I have any regrets? Then I'll answer...

No, because actually... I was happy because this time I wouldn't be needing to suffer with that 'perfect' family anymore...

If only I had a chance to do something before I fell on unto my death, well, maybe that is me, completing all the games endings, routes and unlocking the rumored [Hidden Capture Target]

Which I didn't because I died...

*Sigh* goodbye cruel world.

I said my farewell to this world and closed my eyes, but then I didn't expect what have happen next.

I,

I got reincarnated... I think?
