"In other words, in exchange for curing your brother's illness, you came here?" Kou asks.

"Yup!" Tsukasa beams.

"So that's what happened..."

"But he's okay now because I made a wish and made him all better. From now on, he can run a lot, stay up late at night, go outside on a rainy day and be fine, and he'll be able to get over colds quickly. He can become a grown-up, too!" Tsukasa says, counting everything he says on his fingers.

"Grown-up...? Tsukasa..."

"When he grows up, Amane said he's gonna ride a rocket, and bring us a star! I can't wait! Mom, dad, and Amane too, everyone will be happy!"

"Tsukasa..." Y/n mutters again.

"Then what about you?" Kou asks.

Tsukasa turns around, tilting his head.

"Even if Hanako got better... If you had to disappear, then what's the point?"

"Huh?" Tsukasa asks. "Amane hates me. So it's okay."

"There's no way it's okay!" Kou exclaims, grabbing Tsukasa by the shoulders. "If someone in your family suddenly disappears, how can you be okay with that?! What used to be your normal is no longer normal, and you can never go back. The ones who are left behind suffer so much pain! Don't you think your brother felt the same?!"

Y/n holds her arm as he talks.

"It wasn't okay at all. That's why he died before he could grow up."

"K-Kou!!" Y/n exclaims at him.

"Hanako... Amane Yugi died when he was 13, after he killed his little brother."

"Amane... Killed me?" The child asks.

Y/n gasps. "Kou! You don't have to tell him about-"

"That's why, I'll make sure it won't happen!" Kou exclaims.

"What... Do you mean?" Y/n asks.

Kou turns around. "I mean, think about it. Doesn't the Tsukasa Yugi we know, have the exact same face and age as Hanako? But this guy has been here this whole time. Isn't that... Weird?" He asks. "If this guy's here, then who in the world did Hanako kill? With that, the future would change! And our current situation would surely...!"

"Really? But, how do we bring Tsukasa to Hanako?"

"That's the problem."

"Ah, I see. Well first, what is this place? It doesn't seem like the red house we entered."

"This is the past... So, I guess this is how the brats house looked like. The age and space is a mess... But what if I said it's like a boundary... But it's not?"

They both spend a few minutes trying to think.

Then, Kou hits his hand with a fist. "Okay! He'd probably never kill anyone!" 

"Hanako would never kill anyone...?"

"Yeah. For now let's just take the brat out of the house and talk to Teru about it." Kou concludes.

"Yeah! Sounds good."

"That settled, Let's get out of this house together. You'll be able to go to your place."

"That means... Tsukasa's fake, and possibly not Hanako's brother?"

"Could be... Also, there was a chance he killed him because he knew he wasn't his brother. But! If that's the case, then if we take him back to his family's place, it's not like you'd know everything about him just because your twins. Of course he'd say he hates you when you're fighting, but it's only for that moment. If you're together, then maybe you can get along peacefully from now on, okay?" Kou kneels to his height. "Then you can live with your brother."
