Arc 1

Scene 0

After the New Year celebrations, everyone took some time off. Kieza still lives with Mio, and her income is based on her work at the Ministry of Control with Kirisaki. Because of the dismissal of two employees at the Ocurrens bar, Mia and Andou are working much more. Andou even quit his other jobs, focusing solely on the bar. Mio and Aisa, after getting closer to Shiroh and her sisters, have started to frequent Olympus occasionally, helping with some tasks and often taking care of some paperwork because of the time they've both spent away from their homeland. While Mia began to get closer to Ms. Mistery and Shiroh, her circle of friends in recent years has been very mixed. Because of the bar, she got very close to Zenska and Kieza, only to drift apart when she got into a fight with Iro, then befriended Mio and Aisa. Now the former two have quit their jobs, while the other two have almost their entire lives made up, making Mia feel out of place. In this case, incredibly, the trio of Mia, Ms.Mistery and Shiroh ended up creating an incredible dynamic. The three were almost inseparable. So much so that Kirisaki couldn't help feeling a little jealous. However, when everyone was making new friends, starting new jobs, taking a step further in life, for others it was all repulsive. Still, no one around seemed to have noticed. At the bar, where Yuki went every day, she almost always brought someone else. She was no longer there any of the time. On some of Aisa and Andou's dates, someone was always there, or worse, when they were double dates. But she wasn't there at any of the future meetings. At the Ocurrens meetings, someone was always there to lift everyone's spirits, and once in a while to help with the plans. She wasn't there. Next to Yuki, it was almost expected to have someone else with her, the two seemed to share the same braincells. But now, Yuki was always alone. And no one seemed to notice. Not even Yuki.

It's already February. Sora had spent the last few months without leaving the house much, and no one seemed to mind. In fact, it only made her want to go out even less, realizing that no one cared about her. What hurt the most was the fact that Yuki had completely forgotten about her - or so it seemed. When that happened, she had focused so much on that woman that she no longer had any friends, and she realized it. Another reason to not leave the house. Not to mention Aisa, she was just perfect, she had her life made, of course she wouldn't care about someone like Sora. Nor did she want to bother her sister. Because of all this, even the cracks in her wall and imperfections in the ceiling were known. She spent day after day trapped in her room. One day, however, she decided to leave. Funny enough, it was February 12th. It had been a month since her birthday. There was no party, no celebration, it went by like another unnoticed day. Maybe it was because she never told Aisa the day she was born, she couldn't blame her sister for that. But that was the reality, they seemed close on the surface, but since the day they met, nothing had changed. The distance between them seemed like an abyss, perhaps it was all the problems of their childhood that prevented them from getting closer. But what certainly bothered Sora the most was the fact that her sister knocked on her bedroom door every day without fail. She would leave her breakfast, lunch, snacks and even dinner. Sometimes she would stop in front of the door and try to strike up a conversation, to ask if everything was all right. Over time, the attempts at conversation diminished. Sora knew that this was pure childishness on her part, but she still hated this incredibly caring and concerned side of her sister. Why couldn't she just be a complete asshole? It would make things easier. She wouldn't have to feel guilty when she mentally cursed at her. Anyway, back to the present day. Whenever she left her room, she always did so late at night or early in the morning, because she didn't want to have to meet Aisa. She wouldn't know how to look her in the eye:

- haah, what a pain.

She scratched her head after stretching and closing the door to her room. It was in the middle of the corridor. Compared to Aisa's room, Sora's was the closest to the stairs. However, even further away from the stairs, there was a third room. Until then, it had been used to store boxes and unused things. As usual, Sora looked towards the end of the corridor, gazing at the few shapes she could make out in the darkness. Calm down. Shapes? The girl paled when she realized there was a silhouette. Was it Aisa? No. They're taller, the hair is longer. It wasn't her. That would be... Yuki???? No. The body was different. Of course it wouldn't be her, you idiot. So... who was it? And why was she standing in front of Aisa's room? What was she supposed to do? Moving her hand through the air, careful not to make a sound, she stopped time. Well, at least Yuki didn't interfere in that. She still had free control of time. Now, with time stopped, she could approach the figure. Wait a minute. Something was wrong. Before she could even react, the person began to move and in a few moments Sora was immobilized on the ground:
