(Private Chat to Self)
**They say pain makes you stronger.
But I don’t want to be strong.
I just don’t want to be alone anymore.**
📍 Scene: Village Martial Arts Dojo – Evening Training Class
👤 Only students: Amara (13), Hattori (15), background kids, and Sensei Ojiro
Sensei ojiro(senior)
Form your pairs. Practice the defensive block combo we learned yesterday. No excuses.
student 1
Ewww. No one pair up with Amara, he smells like mud again 😷
student 2
Why does he even come here? He’s an orphan and pathetic.
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
(quietly picks up his wooden sword and goes to the corner alone)
😔😖
kanzo hattori (age -13)
(Steps forward without hesitation)
I’ll pair with Amara.✋😊
() means action
“” means they are thinking
student 1
What the hell, Hathori? You serious?
kanzo hattori (age -13)
Yes, offcourse...
Atleast he is way better than you .
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
“is he serious, will he pair up with someone like me??"😖
student 2
Tch... fine. Don’t come crying when he stabs your foot. 😒
kanzo hattori (age -13)
You ready???😊
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
Why are you doing this?? 🧐
kanzo hattori (age -13)
Because I hate injustice. And I hate bullies more.
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
“So he is not doing this for me 😔"
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
That’s not a reason to talk to me.🤨
kanzo hattori (age -13)
No. But it’s a reason to stand beside you.😉
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
“badum-badum"😳
[They begin the drill — Amara stumbles slightly]
kanzo hattori (age -13)
Your form’s good. But your stance is too tight. Relax your shoulders.
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
Nobody’s ever corrected me like that before…
kanzo hattori (age -13)
Then they’re not training you. They’re just passing time.
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)

Amara’s Diary – Entry #002
**He didn’t flinch when the others laughed.
He didn’t hesitate to hold my arm and guide me.
He didn’t see an orphan.
He saw a partner.**
After class – Walking back together
kanzo hattori (age -13)
How long have you been training?
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
Since I was 9. I had to learn to defend myself.😔
kanzo hattori (age -13)
And now you’re going to learn how to win.
With someone on your side.😉😁

Hey moon souls 🌙✨
Thank you so much for reading Chapter 1 💖
alexa(ur authy)
This chapter is very close to my heart because it shows how a small act of kindness can become someone’s whole world 🥺
You’ll see Amara starting to fall… silently, painfully, beautifully.
alexa(ur authy)
Also — meet their younger selves
Yes, Amara is just 11… and Hathori is 13! Childhood crushes hit the hardest, don’t they? 😭
alexa(ur authy)
I also have had a crush on my classmate, he was topper...
Everyone admired him, and I was like amara , can only admired him by distance...😌🤧
alexa(ur authy)
So my moon souls 🌙✨

Now let's dive in.
kanzo hattori (age -13)
13 years old.
Male.
Eldest son of Jinchu Hattori and Mrs. Hattori (respected martial artists of the village).
Raised in a warm, loving home with a younger brother and childhood friend Shishimaru.
Strong sense of justice (never stays quiet when someone is wronged.)
Cheerful, kind-hearted, and emotionally balanced for his age.
Quickly becomes a star student in martial arts training.
Becomes curious about Amara's quiet nature and dark eyes.
Always sees Amara as more than what others label him.
Unaware of Amara’s deeper feelings, but drawn to his silence in strange way
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
11 years old
Male.
Nickname - Amara
Orphan – abandoned at a young age, lives in a small village alone.
Always bullied by classmates for being “weird” and silent.
Doesn’t trust anyone easily, keeps emotions locked away.
Introverted but brilliant in martial arts (fights like he has something to prove).
Deep down, longs for someone to protect him… to choose him.
Starts developing one-sided feelings for Hattori after he defends him from bullies.
Keeps a secret diary where he writes and sketches Hattori daily.
Closest bond is with his stray cat, who understands him better than any human.

Chapter 2 – Bullies & Bandages
alexa(ur authy)
Hey moon souls 🌙✨
alexa(ur authy)
This chapter is special—it’s where it all really begins.
Watch how a moment of kindness… plants the seed of something Amara never knew he needed.
He’s 11. Hathori is 13.
And fate has just started to stir.
📍 Scene: Dojo Courtyard, Late Afternoon – After Martial Arts Class
student 1
heyy, orphan boy. Still pretending you belong here?😈
student 2
Actually what does it matter?
Bet he sleeps in the storage room like a rat 🐀
student 1
Haaa haa haaa 😂🤣🤣
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
(gripping wooden sword)
Let's Fight and find out.🙄
student 1
Tch. Brave words for someone with no name.😠
Student 1 charges at Amara with a wooden sword. Amara blocks sharply, counters with swift footwork. Just as he gains advantage...
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
Bang💥
Student 2 sneaks up and grabs Amara’s ankle caused him to stumbles.
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
(gritting his teeth)
Cowards.
student 2
Still standing? Let me fix that—
😈😏
kanzo hattori (age -13)
(steps in, catching Student B’s wrist mid-swing)
Enough.
student 1
Hattori? Stay out of this!
kanzo hattori (age -13)
This isn’t a fight. It’s two-on-one. That’s bullying.😠
kanzo hattori (age -13)
No one deserves to be ganged up on. Ever.
kemumaki kemuzou (amara, age-11)
(quietly, eyes down)
Why…why are you helping me? 🥺
kanzo hattori (age -13)
Because no one else does.
And I hate injustice.

In silence.
And yet, I’ve never felt
