The year Chester first met Charity, he was 19 years old while she was 16 years old. They were in the prime of their youths.

Before he met her, he heard Sarah had a younger sister with the same father but a different mother.

Even when we went out to play, you’d always knowingly or unknowingly remind me to bring her along. I could see that you had feelings for her. But why? I was the one who invited you over. You were so outstanding, yet you liked charity, the person I hated the most.”
