Hashira's happiness

Sisters fight

(The characters probably don't act like how they would normally. It's kind of hard to present them :( Also, Aoi, Kiyo, Naho and Sumi are apart of the butterfly sisters. No matter what anyone says they always were. They have the butterfly clip too and they were taken in by the Kocho sisters.)

It is the weekends. I stayed in my room after breakfast to figure out a plan to make the other Hahira's remember. From what I've seen, having a deep interaction with me caused Sanemi and Mitsuri to remember. So maybe that is how it works.

I think Kanae-nee is worried for me. It is unusual for me to be in my room for so long. I don't want to worry her but this is important. What she should be worrying is about Aoi and Kanao. They seem to be avoiding each other.

I finally decide to leave my room to go check on everyone else. Kiyo, Naho and Sumi are having a sleepover at their friends house. 

I see Kanae-nee in the living room. "I need to talk to you." I say to her as I sit beside her. She stops what she is doing and looks at me. "How can I help?" She asks.

"Is Aoi and Kanao fighting or something?" I ask. 100 years ago, they were like best friends. it's odd to see them avoiding each other. "I think so too!" Kanae says.

"We need to do something." I say to Kanae. She nods in agreement. "Sister shouldn't fight, they should help each other!"

"What's the plan?" I ask her. Kanae says, "I'll speak with Kanao and you speak with Aoi. I nod in agreement. Aoi is like a younger me and Kanao is like a younger Kanae but just a little more quiet.

I head to Aoi's room. I knock 3 times. That's a code that me and her have so she knows who it is. She opens it and stares at me. "Aren't you happy to see your beloved sister?" I say teasingly. Her smile is warm. She lets me inside.

"Do you need something?" Aoi asks as she sits on her bed. "Yes actually..." I say. I sit down next to her and stare into her eyes. "What's up with you and Kanao?" I ask. Maybe I was a little straight forward.

She avoids eye contact with me. "Nothing..." 

I squeeze her cheeks and make her look at me. "You're so bad at lying..." I say and chuckle a little. "Unlike you...You're always lying." Aoi says. It caught me off guard. I don't lie as much as I did 100 years ago. My sister is alive so I don't have to fake my smile and personality.

"Tell me what happened." I say as I let go of her. Aoi takes a deep breath in and out.

"I feel like you guys care more about Kanao than me." She says. It came out a little fast. Honestly, it kind of hurt. I don't know why she thinks that. "Why do you say that?" I ask calmly. She ignores me which makes me a little annoyed.

"Aoi." I say a little more loudly. "I don't care if Kanae likes Kanao more, but it's different with you. It used to be just me and you doing things and getting on Kanae's nerves. It was us that snuck out at night and ate lots of sweets. We did basically everything together." It sounded like she wanted to cry. I look at Aoi concerningly. Is this how she felt 100 years ago? 

I put my arms around her and bring her closer. She hugs me back. "I'm sorry...I'm acting like a brat," Aoi says. I give her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. No one thinks that. I'm sorry you feel that way."

After a few minutes, I ask, "What made you say that?" Aoi looks down at the floor, "Kanao needs a lot more help than I do so you guys are always with her...It made me feel a little lonely. You know in school, everyone  knows that Kanao is your little sister but they don't know I am. It's like I don't exist." 

I pat Aoi's head. "I love you just as much as I love Kanao." We continued to talk for a bit.

Kanae knocks on Kanao's door. "Come in." She says quietly. "I need to speak with you." Kanae says. She sits down next to Kanao who looks at her.
