"You were told multiple times you were good at acting. It was ironic, honestly. Of course you would be a good actress if your whole life was a play."

A/N: Okay but before we start this chapter, let's take a moment to admire this wonderful and amazing fanart of Akiro and (an interpretation of) the Reader hugging. It was done by the amazing and talented @AnnixzyKozume on Quotev.
Ah geez!!! It's just so beautiful and wholesome!!!!! Oh if only they grew up in a healthy household T-T

SUPER IMPORTANT: Since I aged up the characters by a year (they're 16 instead of 15), I have always used "high school" instead of "middle school". So now there's a huge inconsistency when it comes to the story line lmao.
Ok. So, considering many of class 3E students are leaving Kunugigaoka and taking the entrance exams to get into other schools, I've decided I will name their next phase "college" because, in the UK educational system, it covers the age span of 16-19. I know it wouldn't make much sense since they're supposed to be in Japan but it was the only solution I could think of because saying they were moving on to high school when they're already in high school is a bit weird 😬
TO SUMMARIZE: Kunugigaoka is now divided in "high school" and "college" (instead of "middle school" and "high school"). Right now they're in high school (they're 16) so next year they'll move on to college (16-19) and then to university (but that's not important right now because the anime/manga doesn't cover it so neither will I).
(Your POV)
"What?! You want me to say sorry for calling you naive?! You want me to apologize for calling you a coward too?! Well, sorry if it offended you. Are you happy now?"
You wept loudly, your strained sobs echoing all throughout the house. You didn't even try to muffle your cries. Why would you? It wasn't as if anyone could hear you. You were in the solitude of your room. Your parents weren't home, there were no appearances to keep up with... You were alone... All alone...
"You want me to say sorry for not reaching out?! You want me to say sorry for never saying goodbye?!"
You shuddered as his voice reverberated inside your head. A cold sweat ran down your spine, your whole body trembling as your knees gave in and you allowed yourself to fall down on the ground.
You were scared.
The look your brother had had was that of a madman. He had lost his mind. The way he had yelled at you... You shook your head, not wanting to think about it. But it was impossible to get rid of those thoughts. Akiro's outburst had scarred you. Your trust in your brother had completely shattered.
By now, you were trembling as you huddled for warmth. Akiro had lost his mind. Akiro had broken down right in front of your eyes...
Shaking your head from left to right, you tried once again to cast those thoughts away but failed miserably. You tightly hugged your knees and buried your head in between your legs, Akiro's words running inside your head over and over. Just like your mother, your brother had taken out all his anger and frustration on you. And just like your father, he had refused to apologize and admit to his mistakes.
