< Day 12 ~ Evening : 4:42 pm >

[ Reich POV ]

Japanese Empire waved a goodbye at me. His daughter Japan is following him. They get in the car and drove home.

"..." My smile faded away. I looked at both of my children. First East, and then West, then looked at his left hand. Regret was crushing me. My heart felt heavy. I hugged them.. and cried..

"I'm s-sorry"
"Look at your hand, West, I'm.. sorry..."
"East I am so sorry too..."
"I'm sorry I can't control it you two.."
"I-m so-

\\Hugs back\\ They hugged me back.

"Ouch..!"
"..."
"It's okay vater... It's not your fault.. It's MY fault..."
"I shouldn't yell at you vater! I made you go out of control!" :(
"I broke your first rule..."
"I'm so sorry!"
"Forgive me!"

West said to me crying.

"Forgive me too my son."
"I'll always love you even tho I'm out of control..."

'Forgive me too my son...'

[ East Germany POV ]

It's raining outside. I was sitting at my bed, ready to sleep. The clock shows 10:30 pm.

I looked at West Germany. He is just watching the lovely rain outside the window. "Brother? It's time to sleep" I said to him. "No..not now... You sleep first." He denied me. "Is something wrong?" I ask him. "No..but yes" He replied. "What?? Brother just tell me" I'm confused at what he said earlier. I want to know what's wrong. But instead of answering my question, he just tells a lie! "No nothing is wrong. I'm okay" He lied to me. I'm getting annoyed. So I just ignored him. "Hmph!" I dont know why I said that. He just looks at me.., with his cold stare. I thought that only adults have it! Anyways, I close my eyes hoping to have a good dream.

{ Meanwhile.. }

[ West Germany POV ]

"Hmph!" East said to me. Then I just gave him a cold stare. I was just joking, but he looked offended. Who cares? I look back at the window just in silent. After all the things that happened, we're finally in a good condition again. Um, except me, my left hand are still in a bad condition. Although I'm shot, I didn't felt so hurt. 'Huh..weird. I thought getting shot by a gun will make you reaaally suffer. Heh whatever.' I ignored it.

'Everyone is asleep, maybe. East is asleep. Vather is pretty much asleep after all that incident. 'They' is probbally asleep too.'

Just looking at the window in silent. But then, thoughts running in my head, again.

'I wonder why I'm seperated to be the West, which is me myself, West Germany. And the other half is East, which is East Germany, my twin brother' I thought. 'Now what if Mr Poland is not seperated anymore and becomes a normal independent country? What if that happens to me as well? Will I be a country? Will East be a country too?'

'It's crazy how a kid has such many lore and things to find out. They are like a teenager or even an adult'

Thinking about teenager, I feel uncomfortable.

"Uhh.. Like a teenager?.. Me being a little bit of a teenager..? I- I think it's just a coincidence.. Err. Vather is still a country. There is no way I'm a teenager" I said to myself... "Whaa-??" East voice is suddently heard.

I got scared a little, and answers back to him.

"East I thought that you were asleep! You scared me a little." I said to him.

East looked confused and sleepy at the same time. "Who are you talking to? And what are you talking about? Being a teenager?"

"Myself. And uhh.. you can just ignore your last question. Now, now, I want to sleep like you want me to." I said to him.

With that, I climbed up to my bed and go to sleep.

{ Meanwhile.. }

[ Reich POV ]

I hear voices at West and East bedroom. They are supposed to sleep at this time. But I don't want to go out of my room and starts to be mad again.

Thinking about the two little Germans, I feel bad. They had always been nice to me, but had to go through this though day.

I'm scared if they didn't forgive me truly. Just scared and didn't know what to do if they are.

Madness.

A big country, a strong country. But.. can't stand madness?

"I probbally have anger issues.. that's all" I said wanting to ignore and ends it. But it keeps running in my head. It's like someone has taken control over me and wants to destroy me.

\\Sigh\\ I sigh and thinks about my kids again. 'I love them. I don't want them to get hurt again and again. But how?'

There are many difficult things that adults have to face. The heart of them have to be strong enough to face it. With kids, It's even difficult.

I just hoped that I did not make another mess and it is worse. Because this day is hard enough to face. And I made a mess too.

'Forgive me...'
