Butterfly Mansion, Afternoon



Kanae was in her room again along with Kanao who was taking a break from training with Shinobu in the morning. Knocking was then heard on the door

"Come in..." Kanae says

The door was opened, and Kanae and Kanao saw Shinobu enter

"Ara ara~ Kanao, are you ready to continue your training?" Shinobu asked with a smile

Kanae's back was facing Shinobu, so when Kanae turned to see her little sister... she sighed, immediately noticing how fake that smile was... and as Kanao was about to answer...

"Actually, Shinobu, I told Kanao that I am going to be the one training her this time..." Kanae stated

Shinobu's eyes widened, clearly surprised

"You did?" Shinobu asked

"Yes... besides, you look... exhausted... sit here with me, get some rest..." Kanae said, Shinobu sighed

"Thank you Nee-san..." Shinobu said, not forcing her smile anymore

"Kanao, go prepare yourself, I'll meet you there" Kanae said as Kanao nodded

"Yes, Nee-san..." Kanao said as she stood up and left the room

When Kanao left the room... Shinobu did as Kanae said and sat beside her

"So Nee-san, what are you-

"Is this...?" Shinobu asked as Kanae nodded

Kanae allowed Shinobu to see what she had drawn...

"Oh Nee-san..." Shinobu said with a frown on her face

Kanae suddenly hugged Shinobu

"I'm... so sorry, Shinobu..."

Shinobu's eyes widened once again

"I distanced myself from everyone... from you and Kanao... I... didn't understand how you would be affected..."

Shinobu's arms slowly wrapped around Kanae

"I'm sorry, but... I'm here now..." Kanae said

"I... I understand, Nee-san... I could never know how much Tomioka-san really meant to you... but I know he really made you happy..." Shinobu said

They then broke the hug

"Shinobu..."

"Mm?"

"If I was the one who died... would you have done the same thing as me? Getting revenge...?" Kanae asked
