Lost

6 MONTHS LATER

Rin sat in silence at the edge of her brother's bed...the cops of course report to them their findings and they have found nothing. Rin barely hears the muffled murmurs of voices as she grasps the picture her and Subaru drew together when they were about 4 and 5, she wonders if he even took the time to look at it before he left. "SUBARU AND RIN TOGETER FOEVR" she's stared at picture for hours, her tears wetting the paper each time she looks at it...she laughs at the quality of the drawing, how simple life used to be. Rin usually puts up missing posters from day to day, she just can't stand hearing the sobs of her parents each time she tries to walk around her house.

She wonders down her street from time to time lighting a cigarette to take her mind off things...she looks up only to notice she was at the convenience store where she last saw her brother. She attempts to hold her emotions in but to no avail...her eyes drip with tears until she sobs on the sidewalk...she's cut off by someone sitting next to her, she assumes it's someone that wants to console her but then she wonders...what the hell could possibly console her?

"Why are you crying...?" The woman spoke to Rin in a soft caring tone. "I'm sorry..that question was quite the foolish one, I'm so sorry about your brother, Ms"so so so many sorry's have been said to Rin but for some reason this one stuck. "Thank you but..I..I-" like many times before Rin begins to cry, throwing herself into the arms of the woman without any care of restraint or personal space, a portion of her soul had felt like it was stolen from her...and the last thing she felt towards Subaru while he was near was rage and dissatisfaction and she hated herself for that. The woman hesitated for but a second only to embrace her tightly, "I can say as many sorry's as I want to but I know it'll make no difference...but I can."

This comment completely caused Rin to disregard her previous sadness, what did she mean?...change what? What could possibly change her brother's case? "What are you talking about?" She said through sniffles, The woman looks up to her with confidence in her eyes and simply says "I know what loss is like...what are you willing to do to see your brother again?" She said that with such...absolution as if she could pair them together again."What...who the hell are you?" Rin says as she begins getting offended at this random woman's words The lady just stares back at Rin as if she's only looking for an answer, nothing more and nothing less.

Rin took a notice to this woman's appearance too, how long and silky her hair was...and the color as well. A solid white....with purple eyes?" "A cosplayer?" Rin thought to herself. "I am. I am willing to do anything to see him again." She said that with conviction, as if every world she ever uttered meant nothing, she'd give anything...absolutely anything. The mysterious woman simply smiled at her comment, placed her hand on her's and in an instant Rin was in a...village?? With multiple carriages passing her as she looks on in confusion.
