That evening, as Hana entered the huge house of the day, she felt a nervousness creep into the pit of her stomach, because she knew she had a tough journey ahead of her. The hard part for Hana was not living in her new home, but feeling like she was dreaming. The house was a stark contrast to Hana’s humble beginnings. She didn’t find living here difficult at all. Hana had always imagined this lifestyle.
Unfortunately, the mansion was one of the few positive things left in Hana’s life. When it became known that she was married to Haru, the hostility of the villagers grew. The villagers gossiped about Hana, and she soon earned the unfortunate nickname of “Gold Digger Hana.
Hana found herself drawn to Lucy and Billy, sensing that their loneliness mirrored her own. But as each day passed, the town’s hostility became more and more of a burden. As the hostility grew, she began to spend more and more time with Lucy and Billy. Their mutual grief and isolation began to create a powerful bond between them. Despite the town’s scorn, Hana found solace in this new relationship. It served to heal her wounded soul to the point where the mansion felt less like a gilded prison and more like home.
