Shinichiro quietly went to Mikey's room, not wanting his grandfather and sisters to know where he is. Mikey's still in the hospital, and Shinichiro couldn't stop thinking about it. Then he saw the Concorde that he bought, displayed in Mikey's room.

He felt his hands balling into fists as he stared at the Concorde. Shinichiro gritted his teeth as he took the Concorde, "THIS STUPID SHIT!" he yelled as he angrily threw it on the ground—he could feel his anger taking over him. He began to stomp on the Concorde multiple times, angrily destroying it in a fit of rage. "THIS STUPID, STUPID THING!"

[first name] just finished getting Emma ready for bed. As she got out of her sister's room, she heard Shinichiro yelling and cursing. She immediately turned to where she heard her older brother, and she gasped when she realized that it was coming from Mikey's room, "Shin.." she hurriedly went to her brother.

[first name] slammed the door open and her eyes widened in fear when she saw her brother destroying Mikey's Concorde. Tears instantly formed in her eyes as she ran up to him, "Shinichiro! Stop!" she cried as she wrapped her arms around his waist and tried pulling him away. "P-Please, big bro.." Shinichiro heard how concerned and scared his little sister was. He folded his lips as he stopped stomping on the destroyed Concorde, and tried controlling his tears. That's when he got on his knees and began sobbing.

Hearing Shinichiro sobbing, pained [first name]. She closed her eyes as she hugged her older brother tighter, letting her tears stream down her face. Shinichiro could hear his breath hitching as he continued crying, "I-It's my fault.." he whimpered, "It's all my fault."

[first name] sniffed, "Don't say that.." she said as Shinichiro turned to face her, and hug her back. "Don't blame yourself," she said, gently rubbing his back to calm him, "It's no one's fault.." he added.

"I don't know what to do, [first name].." Shinichiro sobbed as he hugged his sister tight.

[first name] rested her head on Shinichiro's shoulder and softly said, "Don't worry, big bro," Shinichiro opened his eyes to glance at her. "You're not going to deal with everything alone.." she said as she and Shinichiro let go of each other.

"No, [first name]," said Shinichiro, causing [first name] to flinch. He looked at her with his glossy eyes and said, "You wanted to go to college, right? that's why you have two part-time jobs." Shinichiro couldn't help but shed more tears as he began thinking about [first name]'s future. He knows that [first name] wanted to go to college, that's why she's been trying to save up some money—he didn't want to ruin her dreams. "That's why I want to work hard..I don't want you to end up not going to college.."

[first name] stared at him for a moment, a little touched by her brother caring about what she wanted to do with her life. Then a weak smile formed on her lips as she looked at the floor, "So what.."

Shinichiro was a little taken aback by her words, "H-Huh?"

[first name] chuckled softly as she stood up, leaving Shinichiro still on the floor. "So what if I ended up not going to college?" she said as she offered her hand to him. "That plan of mine can wait," Shinichiro was shocked to hear her saying that. [first name] gave him a small, yet warm smile and said,

"I got your back, big bro.."

Shinichiro looked at his sister in amazement, then his eyes began to water once again—he was so touched by his sister's words. He could feel his tears beginning to stream down his face once again. Then his lips slowly formed into a warm smile—he couldn't help but feel happy, and proud of what kind of person [first name] is—he was so grateful. He was grateful to have her as a sister. And he's going to thank himself, his grandpa, and his parents for raising [first name] well. Shinichiro took her hand and stood up. He pulled her into a warm embrace and whispered,
