Yoru turns to me. "He's a year younger than me."
"So, he's a year older than me?" I ask.
He nods.
"Okay." I say feeling my eyelids close as I fall asleep under the soft blanket.
......................
"Kireina, wake up." Yoru says as he gently shakes me awake.
"Hmmm? Are we here?" I say snapping awake.
"Yeah, get dressed, we gotta go."
He leaves the room to let me change and I do the same for him. We meet up in the same room as before. Yoru speaks first.
"Let's go, this guy I know is not a patient person."
I lift my head up as I suddenly realize something.
"Yeah, about that, what should I call him?"
"Uh...just call him Hiromi." He says.
"Hiromi?" I say testing the name out.
He nods. "You ready? Let's go."
.............
He helps me off of the plane and into the cold night air.
"What time is it here?" I ask.
"I'm not sure, but by the looks of it, I think it's just before dawn." He says.
A feeling of sadness sweeps over me as a memory comes to my mind. Something my brother, Hisashi, used to say. "It's always darkest before the dawn." He would say right before messing up my hair .
"It's always darkst before the dawn." I murmur.
"What was that?" Yoru says, snapping me back to my senses.
"Huh? Oh, nothing." I say.
.....................
We get into the car waiting for us outside the plane. After some time, we pull up to a narrow building that looked like it was being crushed by the two buildingd next to it. Yoru helps me out of the car after getting out himslef. He leads me into the building which is much bigger than it looks on the outside.
