"Ok, we start going in the evening. The Bakufu won't be around the beach at that time, so we better be quick." Kaho, my older brother, told me at the kitchen table.

Today, we will start our plan to escape Inazuma.

Ever since Dad passed, money became a big problem. When he was here, money was already a problem, but it's now much bigger. We will lose the house and we already have little Mora, meaning we'll be homeless and have no food.

Kaho and I tried to find jobs but they don't pay much nor were there any jobs to apply. We decided to start a new life away from Inazuma.

"Got it. Is the raft already built?" I asked.

He hummed a yes.

I got up and went up to the two bags in the living room. "I got some of our stuff packed, I even got us each a notebook to write down our thoughts and write about our journey." I smiled as I then pulled 2 notebooks from the bags.

"Heh... You're really excited, huh?" He smiled as he walked up to me.

"Of course! My dream's are coming true. I have been reading about Mt. Aozang and Mt. Hulao since a kid." I smiled sweetly.

"I know, I know. Well, we should get ready mentally.. You should go take a walk outside, refresh your mind, kid." He said as he pats my head. "I'm going to pack a few more things and then take a small nap." He then went to his room. "Be careful!"

"Ok!" I replied as I spoke up so he can here me. I put on some sandals and walk to the river that was a few minutes away.

As I got to the river, I sat under a tree and had my feet in the water. I look up and see the sun that was about to set.

As I took a deep breath in and out, I close my eyes and got lost in my thoughts...

Tomorrow is a new day...
Me and Kaho will start a new life, in new cultures.
We will have a new home.

After 30 minutes of meditation, it started to rain, and slowly the wind started to pick up. I should head home.

As I stood up, thunder roared, and I jumped from fear. It's a bad storm. I quicken my pace.

As I opened the door, I saw Kaho bend over putting something on my bag. He seemed to be spooked by me opening the door and stood up. "Ah! (N/n), you scared me!"

"Sorry..." I walked up to him, "What are you putting in my bag?"

"O-Oh." He then pulled a pretty big bag from my bag, "I was putting all our Mora in your bag. I feel like I'm going to lose it somehow, so you're gonna carry it." He put it back in.

Something was off, but yet, he is more reckless with Mora, so he's kinda right. "Ahh... I understand." I started to change my shoes.

"(Y/n). Can I tell you something?" Kaho asked, with a bit of sorrow in his voice.

I turned to him, "Yeah, what's up?"

"If somehow we get separated, we will keep moving forward. If there are obstacles in our way, we fight it and keep moving forward. No matter what happens, we keep moving forward." He looked at me with care and determination.

I have never seen him like this. Why is he telling me this now? I mean, we are about to do something crazy that's extremely risky.

"No matter what happens," He then pointed to where my heart is, "I will be right here," he then pointed at my forehead, "And right in that hollow head, heheh..."
