Boom - !

A thunderstorm rages on a deep night...

"Ah?!"

A girl startles at the sound, trembling in fear...

"Brother..."

Unable to bear the loneliness and fear of the stormy, dark night, she comes to him again.

"Hmm... Yura?"

The man, whom the girl calls 'brother', is already asleep, or so it seems, as he looks at his sister with sleepy eyes.

"Um... I'm scared... Can I sleep with you again tonight...?"

She nervously fidgets with her fingers, waiting with bated breath for his answer. But what comes is an easy consent.

"Sure... do as you like..."

"Haah..!"

Delighted at his permission, she smiles and snuggles into his embrace, finding protection from the darkness.

"Brother... why are you so kind?"

"..?"

Baffled by his sister's incomprehensible question, the brother turns his head away as if avoiding the moonlight, expressing his confusion.

"Well... if my sister is in trouble, I have to help, right? That's what brothers do."

With that, his breathing relaxes again, and he seems to have fallen back into deep sleep.

"Mom and Dad... they hardly come home because of work..."

In a household where work takes precedence, leaving the children almost neglected during weekdays, the girl's time with her brother grows, and she begins to see him in a different light.

"Brother...."

Her voice fades away, her call seemingly not reaching her sleeping brother.

"You know... you're so reliable, brother. Whenever I'm in trouble, you always come to help... Mom and Dad hardly ever come home, they don't even pay attention to us... but you, brother, you always show me genuine affection, right?"

Her monologue continues, a young girl's heart twisting in a misguided environment.

"Hmm..."

Sunlight filtering through the curtains lands on her eyelids, stirring a drowsy warmth, yet also awakening her consciousness, signaling the rise of a new day. "Is it morning already...?"

I wake up unusually tired... it's not like I was particularly busy yesterday... and I even drank the vitality potion Yura gave me. It feels like I'm fighting against myself in unfavorable conditions, as my eyes start to close again.

"Brother, are you awake?!"

"Yura...?"

What's really unexpected is Yura's condition. She greets me cheerfully as if she was never ill.

"Good morning! The sun is so warm and gentle today!"

She's even humming a tune, clearly in a good mood. Just yesterday, she had a high fever and was in constant pain, but now she seems perfectly fine.

"Are you feeling alright?"

"Yeah! I'm in top condition right now!"

I ask about her health out of concern, but as her expression suggests, she seems to be in great health.

"Ugh..."

Did she take my health away...? Instead of her, I'm feeling unwell, almost to the point of collapsing.
