His parents died when 5 months ago. He was the first person who talked to me even persistently even when I was silent. He says he reminds me of his little sister who passed with his parents. I gladly took the role because I don't think I've ever felt this safe before

"Pinky swear".

That was the last time I held my brother in my arms. 

I never was good at keeping promises.
