Y/N's POV

-------------

I woke up at around four am, eyes red and puffy. I noticed that I was quite hungry. After what felt like hours of debating, I finally arose from my bed. I slid open the door and walked to the kitchen to look for something to ease my hunger. As I arrived at the kitchen, I saw a bowl of fruits on the kitchen island. Eh, good enough... I thought as I grabbed an apple from the counter.

I stumbled back to my room as my mind wandered to the news from the previous afternoon. "Kanae's dead!" Those words continued to repeat in my mind. I felt my eyes brimming with tears again. No, she's not dead. Not dead. Not dead. Not dead! I kept repeating in my mind trying to convince myself. I was unsuccessful as my mind kept wandering to Shinobu's devastated face. My soft cry soon became a heavy sob as I dug my hand into my shoulder.

"Y-Y/N-sama.." I heard a quiet voice say.

"Huh?" I asked as I quickly whipped my tears "Oh. It's just you guys. Come in."

"Y/N-sama, are you ok?" Sumi asked as the three girls entered my room.

'"Yeah, I'm fine. But what are you girls doing up?" I replied as I turned around to look at them.

"We couldn't sleep, and when we heard footsteps, we decided to check it out," Sumi responded as she played around with he hands.

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep either, Want me to tell you guys a story?" I asked them while crouching down to their eye level.

"Y-yes please..." Naho said as she played around with her hands. My face broke into a crooked smile, as it was a little forced.

"C'mon. I'll tell you the story of how I met Kanae. It's not sad, except for a little bit in the beginning," I said while walking to my bed and sitting down. This shouldn't be too hard. All I have to do is hide my feelings. That way, the girls won't see me sad.

I patted the bed to signal that I wanted them to sit next to me. They did as I motioned and sat down. Sumi sat to my right, Naho to my left, and Kiyo to Sumi's right.

"So, it all started when my mom ran away from home. My mom left me with my abusive father and I was still just a toddler. Because I was a toddler, I don't remember her that well. My dad beat her and that's why she ran away. She took my baby brother, but not me for some reason. At the time, all I felt was envy towards my brother, but now I just hope that he's safe living happily with my mother," I explained as the girls listened.

"My dad continued to beat me after that, saying things like 'it was my fault that she left' and 'it was a nuisance that I looked so much like her'. When I was around seven years old, I finally ran away. I wore my warmest clothes, but I didn't have any shoes so I just ran barefooted. I ran, and ran, and ran in hopes of finding my mother. My body ended up getting so exhausted to the point I collapsed in the middle of the forest. A woman named Koizumi-sama took me in and treated me with hospitality. I was out cold for a while until Kanae tried to wake me up. I ended up sitting up so fast, we bumped foreheads," I said as I felt two heads fall onto both of my shoulders. They already fell asleep, huh? I guess I'll just read until the dawn. I thought as I grabbed my book from my nightstand.

I read until sunrise when the girls finally awoke.

"Good morning, girls," I said to them as they pick their heads up from my shoulder...

"Good morning, Y/N-sama," they all replied.
