Rin's POV
'To tell the truth, I feel a bit lonely, but...

«Good Luck, Sae!» Mom called out with a cheerful voice.

«Take care of your health!» Dad followed with proud smile.

'I'll definitely catch up to you...'

I resolved in my heart as I said goodbye to Nii-chan one last time.

«Nii-chan, have a safe trip!»

Nii-chan turned around one last time with a smile on his face.

«See ya. I'm off to become the best in the world.» He said, and pride filled me.

Our moment however didn't last long. I noticed Nii-chan's slight distraction as he looked towards something further beyond me. 'Where are you looking at, Nii-chan?'

I asked myself and turned around.
'Ah-' I thought with a slight sense of disappointment.

'It's them again...' A nasty feeling of jealousy crept up my chest. I didn't like it at all.

After all, I knew Nii-chan much longer than anyone, and yet... until recently, he wouldn't even look at me.

'Nii-chan changed recently, but when did that happen?'

My eyes moved from Nii-chan to his odd group of friends.

They were smiling and yelling some sarcastic encouragements at him.

Nii-chan received it all with an exasperated eye roll and a small grin. The casual and seemingly smooth interaction irked me. I didn't like it all.

It's frustrating to think about how easily Nii-chan warmed up to them. I closed my eyes and turned my attention back to Nii-chan.

Nii-chan's eyes were looking at the girl with ashen colored hair. She was waving at him quietly with a soft smile.

I remember seeing them together before. After school. Near the station. Only the two of them.

Omniscient Reader's POV

She seemed like a nice person, but it was not right. Be it in football or real life, Rin didn't like to share.

«See you.» He heard Sae say. Even though it was left with no clear addressee, Sae's eyes remained on one person.

Before anyone could ponder on it for too long, Sae turned around, and off he was.

Rin watched until Sae disappeared. The doors closed with a shut and suddenly, he felt empty.

Leaving behind a huge gap, Rin felt reality sink in. 'It's lonely.'

And suddenly, Rin felt the ground beneath him give in. His world slowly turned upside down.

He was falling.

—————

Just as Rin was falling into the large abyss, created by Sae's absence, a sliver of light came from the most unexpected place. A hand landed on his head.

«So, what will little Rin do now?~» A smooth deep voice startled him out of his thoughts.

«?!» The teen not liking the sudden contact aggressively brushed the hand away, and he glared at his offender.

Yuusuke's amused grin faced him. His hand still lingered in the air - at the place where Rin's head had been.

Rin wanted to curse but he was wary of his parents.
