Akira hopes it's a new start for all of them, even though the little ones are not allowed to leave the apartment or make any noise, since the landlord doesn't permit young children in the building.

In the bustling big city, nobody notices them. It's as if nobody knows.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBut by August the city is sweltering, and the children are too malnourished and exhausted even to go out.
