Things weren't always
this way

Right before his
father left him
and his mom

They were always
so happy

His mother was
always so happy

Genuinely happy

But she changed,
like everyone would

And her first priority
was to make her son
happy, unbeknownst
to his current situation

His mother, although
she lost her old ikigai,
always made her son
find his own ikigai

because she didn't
want him to become
like her.
