/It is snowing.

"My dear sister, you are the only pretty thing in my life. So sweet, so innocent, so pure. My life has endured pain and darkness, I'm glad you're are born with me, you make me feel not alone. Though I am the first born between us, also the one who will be shoved of horrendous things the world really is. I didn't grow up under the light, I grow up cold and harsh. Apricity, you are the warm sun to my coldest days. But they took you away from me, and I have to suffer again."

The stars in the sky cannot be seen, as snow flakes falls onto me. I look down to your grave with a little vase and your favorite flower in it, I look at your name all over again as if I will forget you every single day.

I snuggle down my chin to my thick scarf and fisted my hand under my pockets, the cold stings my eyes and throat. Its my time to go back home.

"Mister Senichi wants you to move out, he bought you an apartment on Nagano. He must not see that you're not doing well alone there, now's Nomi is gone." Said mister Akube through the phone.

"I will move out when I'm ready to leave." I answered while washing the dishes that I used after eating.

"You told me that for the 6th time, When was the day I called you about it? Its been like 3 months. Don't be like this Mino, we are worried for you. Just listen to us." Mister Akube pleaded.

"Or do you want me to pick you up?" He added.

"No" *sigh "...I will not leave my sister here." I answered.

"Mino, just tell me what you want. I will be fucked if Mister Senichi asked about you from me, he always shout and groan and cuss and shout." Mister Akube whines.

"I need time and space to think, tell that to Mister Senichi." I said, I dry my hands with a towel and pick up the phone.

"...Alright, I give up, I'll tell that to your Father."

"..."

"And uhm...you know, your father really cares for you I'm letting you know that. Always remember that your unit is here for you, they'll wait for you." Said Mister Akube with sincerity in his voice.

"Bye, Sir akube, I'll call you myself when the day comes."

"Bye, Mino."

The call ended and I head inside my room to brush my hair, my hair got long and it turned white throughout the mourning. I stressed myself too much, tomorrow will come again.

A never ending cycle.

I lay on my bed and close my eyes to sleep, its all darkness now.

...

"Ne-san!..."

"Onee-sannn!"

...?

"Ne-san wake up, I burned the egg!"

(A/N: 'Onee-san' is to address an older girl)

I open my eyes and see Nomi with cute worried face, I process myself before smelling something burning.

"Ne-san, I burned the egg!" She said, so I hop off my bed and hurried to the kitchen and see smoke everywhere! I turned off the range and grab the pan to cool it down to the sink. The pan made a hissing noise after I pour water on it.

"I was trying to make my own bento, sorry.." Nomi guiltily said with her head down.

I sigh "Why?" I asked and looks at her.

"C-cause..." She stammer, I turned to the pan and scrub the egg off before I prep ingredients for her bento.

"That's my job Nomi, you shouldn't be doing it." I said as I scramble eggs and make onigiris.
