Tales of a Moonlit Night 0: Prologue [MOONLIT]

The name I was given was Nemesis- Nemesis Sudou. However, at the moment, I have no use for such a name. Who would I introduce myself to? I don't know. Here, I don't know anything. I'm currently 9- I know that.

My mother is a wonderful person. She even gave me a cute pet octopus for my birthday! I named him Ziz, since it's what Mother said his species was. Ziz is very nice, and stays by my side no matter what. I love him for that.

Mother, however, does not come home very often. I stopped wondering why a long time ago. That is merely how things are- And who am I to disturb the balance of it? I don't think I would be able to handle many changes. When she comes home, she brings a lot of different foods and makes sure I am okay. Sometimes she brings clothes too, and little things to entertain me or teach me.

But here, all alone, I don't want the skirts or books, or the toy guns or candies. I want Mother. Where did she go? Why did she leave me?

No, she'll come back. She always does, especially when I run out of food. Sometimes I get really hungry, but it's never too bad. I've learned to make sure I can stretch the food out for both Ziz and myself.

She'll come back. She always comes back. So, I'll stay here and wait.

In the quiet, dark house that creaks at night and has no light.

I'll wait here.
