Oh boy... this is a long one. My longest one yet, in fact.

Feel free to point out any mistakes, if you find some—since I'm sure that a chapter this long is bound to have errors.

Also, I had to look through Chapters 142-144 of the Manga for this section.

So... Manga spoilers?? But I'm sure everyone here knows what exactly happens anyway.

Giyuu

Laughter.

Smiles.

Flowers.

Happiness.

These four distinct characteristics could be discerned within the vicinity of this particular setting. I fervently laugh as I aimlessly run through the myriad of flowers prevalent within this particular heath. Tsutako smiles as she spectates my outburst of jubilance; she is happy, I am happy. It was a happy time.

"Nee-san!" I called out as I turned around and scampered my way towards my beloved sister.

My only family.

The only one who always looked out for me with her loving embrace.

The mother I never knew.

Without her, I'd be nothing and no one;

I would do everything to protect this moment and this life; to protect her.

"Nee-san!" I exclaim as I approach her.

Her arms open up, both extending out in a manner that conspicuously served as an indication for a warm, affectionate hug. In response, I willingly and gladly jumped into her embrace.

"Giyuu..." she said in an almost melancholic tone.

Taking notice of this abnormal and sudden transition in my sister's demeanor, I asked, "What's wrong Nee-san?"

"Why are you crying?" she asks concerningly.

I stop.

Crying?

I could feel teardrops gradually flowing down my cheeks.

"Huh? Why am I crying? Why...?" I ask myself.

She's gone.

Everything's gone.

It's all pitch-black.
