【My sister-in-law’s feelings】
I’m Hiromi, living in a two-family home with my in-laws. I have a 3-year-old son, Souta, and I’m currently pregnant with our second child.
I know some might say, “It’s just everyday noise—just ignore it,” and I wouldn’t blame them for thinking that.
But every time I hear laughter, I can’t help but feel a sense of being left out. It leaves me feeling sad and isolated.
When Shinji finally acknowledged how I was feeling, I couldn’t hold back—I broke down in tears.
I thought I had mentally prepared myself when we decided to live together,
but here I am, spilling out all these feelings… I can’t help but feel a little pathetic.
