"Why doesn't Sakura just run away?" Erii asked with curiosity.
"Because I'm afraid of Aunt," Lu Mingfei answered instinctively. He paused, then shook his head. "Actually, it's not really fear of Aunt. If I ran around, Aunt would definitely blame me and yell at me a bit. If she went too far, Uncle would step in to help mediate. What I'm really more afraid of is that if I actually ran away, I wouldn't have a place to live."
"Even though it's not all that free at Aunt's house, at least I have a place to stay. Every day after school, I go right back there. Someone cooks, someone makes dinner, and all I have to do is run a few errands and I get to eat..." Lu Mingfei said softly. "That place is called home. No matter how small or shabby it is, a home... is still a home."
