"Even then, I understood Yuno could kill me — even though she loved you, it was she who pushed us into each other's arms."
"Yuno's parents were very influential politicians. Her father used her to advance his career, forcing his daughter to pleasure his colleagues with strange tastes. His wife supported him, sometimes doing it herself to help her husband."
It seemed to Miku that there was bitterness in Ray's mechanical voice.
"The last time, they gave her to a group of sadists. The girl survived, but her body was scarred, leading to a loss of market value. After that, she was sold to a group of psychics who produce adrenochrome. When we raided them, Yuno looked like a beaten puppy. I decided to take care of her. At first, she was scared. When I fed her the first time, she tried to give me a blowjob. I was shocked. There was so much fear in the eyes she looked at me with that I had to put in a lot of effort to prove to this little one that I wouldn't touch her."
"Seeing her fear, I assigned her to take care of Deya, saying it was payment for my care. At the time, it was just an excuse to reduce her fear, but the truth is, she turned out to be very good at it. I tried to send her to school, but the first attempt didn't end well — she beat up her teacher. I wanted her to socialize and tried to give her a chance to live normally, so I made every effort to convince her to study."
Miku, quietly sobbing, asked:
"How did you manage it?"
"I told her that if she studied well and didn't cause problems at school, I would fulfill her wishes. After that, she started studying very well and ignored other people's taunts. The first thing she asked me for was to make love to her. It was then I realized that my basic care — buying clothes, walks, cooking — had led to this."
"That's not surprising," Miku said, "for her, sex was the only way to express her feelings."
"I thought my care could show her otherwise. I praised her for any success, but the effect was completely different. My attempt to gently refuse and explain that I saw her as my daughter led to her trying to commit suicide. I was very shocked that she asked me for this. From her tone and body language, I could tell she really wanted it. The shock caused me to choose my words poorly."
"I found her in the bathroom crying, about to slit her wrists. When I saw that, I went to the kitchen, took a knife, and stabbed myself in the stomach right in front of her. Seeing that, she dropped the knife and started helping me. As she did, the stream of tears from her eyes increased — she begged me not to die."
"You really are crazy," Miku said.
