The siblings lost their mother at a young age and, keeping their distance from their father\u2014who tended to neglect them\u2014have been doing their best to get by on their own.<\/p>\n<p>Daiki hardly speaks and his facial expressions rarely change. Having moved out of a group home to live on his own with the goal of becoming independent, Daiki follows his own set of rules. He is so meticulous and particular that he arranges everything in parallel and perpendicular lines, carefully aligning even the tableware on his desk. His weekly dinner with Nozomi is always at 7:00 p.m. sharp. If it\u2019s even one minute late, he becomes restless.<\/p>\n<p>Nozomi, who works as a counselor, has received a marriage proposal from her boyfriend.
