The Charity House, a Roman Catholic orphanage run by Ryoko Anno. When Shuya first went into care, he felt like nobody cared and that he wanted to be noticed. One day he jumped off the roof and when everybody cheered him, he felt accepted and kept jumping off anything he could. This stopped when, on one occasion, he landed on top of a little girl, injuring her. He felt guilty about it and stopped jumping; by then he felt accepted. He plays basketball and used to play baseball until the coach decided to cut a student from a baseball game, Shuya decided to quit as well after attacking the coach. When Shuya asks the student to start a baseball team with him, the student tells Shuya that he is not interested due to entrance exams. During the summer after the this incident Shuya was depressed until he heard the radio and hearing rock music. It was at this moment that he got the dream of being a rock star and started to learn how to play the guitar even though rock and roll is outlawed.
