10 Years ago..

The moon hung high in the night sky, casting a silvery glow over the quiet landscape, blanketed in fresh, glistening snow. The world felt serene and still, the only sound being the soft crunch of snow underfoot.

The air was crisp and biting, and their breaths formed little clouds that vanished into the night.

Saori, bundled up in her warm coat and scarf, looked up at the stars twinkling above before suddenly plopping down onto the snowy ground. She laughed as she began to move her arms and legs, creating a perfect snow angel. Her eyes sparkled with delight, reflecting the moonlight.

Saori: Look, Onii-Chan! Isn't it beautiful?

Satoru, stood nearby with a bemused smile, shook his head.

Satoru: You're going to catch a cold if you don't get inside. It's freezing out here!

He crossed his arms, pretending to be stern, but the warmth in his voice betrayed his playful nature.

Saori looked up at him, her face glowing with joy.

Saori: But it's too beautiful to go in! Just look at the snow! It's like a dream!

Her voice was filled with pure childlike wonder, and it tugged at Satoru's heart. He couldn't help but chuckle, the tension of the day melting away in her infectious happiness.

With a dramatic sigh of defeat, Satoru finally surrendered. He plopped down next to her in the snow, letting himself feel the chill seep through his clothes.

Satoru: Fine, but you better make me your special hot chocolate later!

Saori giggled, her cheeks rosy from the cold and excitement. As they lay side by side, the world around them felt magical. The snow crunched softly beneath them, and the stars twinkled above as if they were part of some secret only the two of them knew. In that moment, Satoru's worries faded away—there were no curses, no responsibilities, just the simple joy of being together.

Satoru turned his head to watch his younger sister as she grinned at him, her happiness radiating warmth that contrasted the cold night. He felt a surge of protectiveness and love for her, knowing that these moments were fleeting but precious. Though they only found out about each other's existence a few years ago, the bond they shared was deeper than any words could express.

For that moment, nothing else mattered. They were simply two siblings making snow angels under a starry sky, creating memories that would last long after the snow melted.

He watched her stretch her arms wide, reaching toward the stars as if trying to grasp them. The sight was both amusing and beautiful, a snapshot of pure innocence against the vast night sky. Curiosity piqued.

Satoru: What are you doing?

Saori's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm: When I do this, it feels like I'm touching the stars! Like I can reach out and grab one!"

Satoru chuckled softly, a warm smile spreading across his face: Like you're catching the stars huh...

Saori giggled, her laughter ringing out into the cold night air. But then her expression shifted slightly, curiosity overtaking her joy.

Saori: Onii chan, who is Suguru?

Surprised, Satoru's heart skipped a beat.

Satoru: Where did you hear that name?

He asked, trying to keep his tone casual, though he felt a wave of unease wash over him.

She sat up slightly, her small brow furrowed in thought: You were saying his name in your sleep... It sounded like you were having a nightmare.
