Inui sat on his bed whilst trying to dress up a wound. He sobbed silently whilst biting his lip hard. The wound hurt, but the betrayal hurt worse.

Inui woke up with a cold sweat as he sat up on a bed. He looked around and saw the room partially empty but was heavily decorated with showpieces. It was odd, but a good sight.

He turned to his left to get down, but saw kokonoi sprawled over half of the bed. He hesitated but nudged him awake. Kokonoi groaned but got up with a slight groan eventually.

"Good morning ba-... inui-kun!" Kokonoi chimed with his raspy voice.

Inui tilted his head sideways for a second with a confused look on his face, but quickly changed it to a bright smile and greeted him in return.
"Morning to you too, kokonoi-san!"

Kokonoi blushed a little which inui noticed but shrugged it off. Kokonoi had left to use the washroom and left inui alone, thinking.

"Waky waky! Sleepy head!" I̶n̶u̶i̶ chimed in with his beautiful morning smile.
K̶o̶k̶o̶n̶o̶i̶ groaned slightly as he turned around and continued snoring. I̶n̶u̶i̶ walked around the side o̶f̶ t̶h̶e̶ b̶e̶d̶ a̶n̶d̶ s̶a̶t̶ o̶n̶ t̶o̶p̶ o̶f̶ k̶o̶k̶o̶n̶o̶i̶, h̶e̶ l̶e̶a̶n̶e̶d̶ i̶n̶ a̶n̶d̶ꈤꀷ꒻ꀍꌚ꒻ꌚꀘꌚꀘꌚꀘꌚꀘ꒻ꀷꈤꏂꏂꌃꅐꅐꀘꅐꀘꍏꌃꀷꌃꌃꀷꌃꀷꎭꀷ

"AAAAAAAAAH!!" inui screamed as a loud ringing noise boomed loudly in his eardrums whilst he scrambled onto the floor trying to cover his ears.

"Aaaah! Kokonoi-San!!" He screamed for kokonoi.

The door to the washroom slammed open as kokonoi stumbled outside with a towel on.

"Inui-san! It's going to be okay! Please, let me help!" Kokonoi spoke as he lifted inui in his arms and cradled him.

Inui looked up into kokonoi's eyes and saw tears threatening to fall out, inui opened his mouth to speak but kokonoi shushed him and layed him on the bed. Inui struggled against him, but had to comply anyway. He slumped in his arms as kokonoi laid him over the bed.

"Guess you need more rest than that, seishu.." kokonoi mumbled under his breath as he covered the now unconscious inui with a blanket.


Inui tried to wake up as he found himself somewhere between sleep and consciousness. He couldn't wake up but couldn't go to sleep either, it felt wierd. As rows and rows of memories flashed before his eyes at a fast pace. He couldn't recognize any people out of them. The memories shined at speed so fast infront of him, that he couldn't quite grasp it.

His eyes fluttered open once he saw kokonoi, he sat up straight trembling as cold sweat ran down his neck. He got of the bed whilst his legs croaked underneath him.

He walked towards the bathroom to splash some water onto his face, he believed whatever happened was due to too much sleep. There was nothing wrong with him at all, he believed.

Inui had changed into a new pair of clothes and had finally decided to leave the room he was in for quite a while.

The stair rails were painted with a dull shade of Grey, but it still stood out. He gripped onto it as he made his way downstairs, head still hurting and eyes still heavy.

"K-kokonoi-san...? He rasped in a low tone

The house was empty, as in people. Decorated with pieces of furniture, artifacts and paintings.. but no people, how odd, he thought.

He got himself to the living room and sat on the couch.

'The episode I had earlier was quite awful.. I should maybe see a doctor..' he thought


Kokonoi stood in the balcony holding onto the railing, whilst having guilt filled in his eyes as his hands grazed over the cold metal over and over again. He was waiting for a call.

'He jumped from here... maybe I should destroy this balcony.. huh.. it's my fault..' kokonoi thought whilst he blamed himself

R I N G R I N G

His phone rang with a sweet melodious ring tone. Kokonoi reached the tea table to grab it as he put the phone to his ear, waiting for someone to talk on the other line.

"Hello kokonoi? What's the matter?" Asked from the other end.

"Ah! Doctor.. you finally answered.. it s about him.. it seems like his condition is getting worse!" Kokonoi croaked in a silent yet panicked tone, he could feel his chest being heavy with regret.


It was almost evening as the clock struck 4. Inui was still in the living room, chatting with kokonoi. Well, he only nodded yes or no to whatever he said. Kokonoi had bought him some tea and biscuits, which the two were silently munching on.

"H-how do you know I like these?" Inui asked innocently.

"Well, these are everyone's favourite!" Kokonoi chimed with a smile on his face.

Inui smiled slightly as he felt his heart bubble with warmth. He looked at the sky, the orange shade colliding with an elegant shade of purple. He looked at awe as their collision formed another color, pink. The three colors danced in the sky as the sun shined his last before slowly going down, to rest after a day of work.

"Inui-san" kokonoi called out.
Someone had ringed the doorbell and kokonoi conversed with them for a minute, whilst glancing at inui every once in a while.

"Hmm?" Inui hummed.

"Uuh.. there is someone that wishes to meet you.." kokonoi spoke

"Umm.. I don't have anyone... who could it be?" Inui asked.

"Well, see for yourself.." kokonoi said as he stepped aside and a girl dressed in an elegant floral dress stepped in.

She extended her hand out and waved at him.
"Hello, baby brother" she spoke in her soothing motherly tone.

Inui's mouth parted in shock as he looked at her, she did look like him, but he doesn't remember her at all.

"W-who.... who are you??" He questioned, shocked.

"It's me.. Akane, your older sister. Don't you remember me?" She spoke again in her soothing voice as she took some steps forwards and placed a hand on inui's cheek and stroked it.

The warmth of her hand felt welcoming as inui's glacy eyes looked at her in awe and confusion.

Kokonoi stood near the window watching the two siblings reunite, he was a tad bit envious, but he knew his turn would come too.

Akane leaned and hugged inui which he accepted in surprise, he tried hugging her back but his hands felt too limp, so he let her hug instead.

'So...I have.... a family..'
