However, happiness did not last long. When Miyano was 15, her uncle got married to a widow named Sono Akira. Both Yuka and Miyano were happy for their uncle, and Miyano was happy that Yuka was finally going to have a mother, as her birth mother died when Yuka was 4 due to illness. When Akira married in, she also brought along her son, who is one year younger than Miyano, named Hiroshi.
