The weekend came faster than Hikari would have liked, and before she knew it, she found herself in the back of Kira's motorcycle.
The drive was familiar, almost muscle memory at this point—a trip they had made countless times, even when neither of them particularly wanted to.
Their father had asked them to come over for the weekend, and as usual, there wasn't much room for argument.
It was an unspoken expectation, one that they complied with out of obligation rather than desire.
Visits to her father's new home always left her with a strange, hollow feeling.
It wasn't that she hated seeing him; there were moments when she still caught glimpses of the man she used to look up to, the No. 6 hero and her father who could light up a room with his smile and reassure her with just a few words.
But those moments were fleeting, overshadowed by the reality of who he had become—a man who had chosen to start over, leaving behind the pieces of their old life as if they could be swept under the rug.
Hikari still remembered that night four years ago when their family came crashing down.
Her father had come home, his face tense, as he asked to speak with her mother. He had confessed everything—his affair, and the fact that his mistress was about to give birth.
The news hit her mother like a tidal wave, pulling the ground out from under her, and it rippled through the entire family, leaving a path of emotional wreckage.
The separation was inevitable, but it didn't make it any less painful.
Hikari and Kira moved in with their mother, but the relationship they had with their father had forever been tainted.
He had remarried quickly, seamlessly stepping into a new family life, as if what happened to them had been nothing but a bad dream that he could simply wake up from.
Hikari glanced at Kira through the side mirror, his eyes hidden behind dark sunglasses. His expression was calm but distant.
Her older brother had always been good at keeping up appearances, at pretending everything was fine even when it wasn't.
But she knew him well enough to notice the slight tension in his jaw, the slight frown on his lips.
Kira wasn't unaffected by the betrayal, even if he acted like it.
"You okay?" Hikari asked, breaking the silence.
Kira blinked, then glanced at her through the side mirror briefly before returning his gaze to the road. "Yeah, I'm fine," he said, his tone casual, almost dismissive. "Just... thinking."
