Oh god what was Inoue Mao to him? No word, no role fit cookie-cutter perfect on her presence in his life. Inoue Mao was not his sister, she was not his niece, she was not his cousin, she was not his neighbour and she was most definitely not his girlfriend or even friend for that matter.

And yet he couldn't imagine his life without her presence. So she was something, and he supposed he did in some way feel like she was his. That thought he could come to terms with in his mind. Inoue Mao was his.

Inoue Mao. Amazing Doctor. Little bit too naive for her own good. JIlted at the Altar.

That's what she was going to have written on her tombstone.

Imagine a happy family photo. That's Inoue Mao's life. She's your regular intern at one of the world's leading architects firms. She's dating her boss who is gorgeous, has a great best friend and one of the world's richest men as her father.
