~Lotta death here... Oh God...~
~~~<|||>~~~
Vylad got rejected by Dante, who was in favour of Nicole.
Zane and Kawaii~Chan took a break. But she never planned to come back to a grave.
And Garroth, the eldest. Laurance was taken from him, Cadenza moving away to assist her parents. He... Well... You'll see.
What they have in common?
None of them ever felt happiness again.
So, kneeling in the dirt with her mother, Silver more alone than ever.
With no one around him to care, Vylad refused to eat, or sleep. Not a month later, his neighbour discovered him on his couch. Dead.
When Kawaii~Chan had tried to break the news of her moving away to find relatives, Zane begged her not to go. She told him to keep a smile on his face and stay positive before leaving him alone.
She returned six months later to the news that he'd been so heartbroken, he had not cared enough while crossing the street. Dead.
Garroth's story may be the most broken, tragic, and yet complicated. After hearing Silver on the phone to Laurance, upset, as he himself was, about the death of the previous two, he caught them at probably the worst possible timing. For him, anyway. His little sister, distraught as she was, was still happy enough to place her lips on her brother's best friend.
If that wasn't enough, the girl, his best friend's sister, had moved out of his reach. Quite literally. Upon discovering Cadenza's move to the countryside, Garroth... Made his own way out. An easy one... But a horror scene to come across of there ever was one.
So, what would happen when their little sister walks into their homes? This.
~~~<|||>~~~
Vylad.
She walks up to the front desk of his apartment block.
"Hi! Is my brother here? He didn't tell me which room, but—"
"Name?" The not-so-friendly man demands.
"Ro'meave."
He looks stricken, and she becomes scared.
"I-Is my brother—"
"Vylad...? He... His neighbour came across... He no longer lives in this building, Miss Ro'meave."
She pauses, struggling. "Do you... Have a..."
Her voice cracks. "Of course you don't..."
The man's face softens. "I'm sorry for your loss. He was a nice man. One of the kindest in the building, I'd say."
"Where did they...?"
"I don't have that information, Miss. You have two older brothers, he once said. Perhaps they know?"
"Y-Yeah... Thank you..."
She walks away, out of the glass doors, tears falling.
~~~<|||>~~~
Zane
Five months after Vylad's passing, the Ro'meave girl knocks gently on her older brothers' home. The older answers.
"Hey, Sil. You okay?" He asks softly, letting her in.
"Y-Yeah. Are you...?"
"I... I have something to tell you, Sil."
She sits down on the couch. "Can it maybe wait? I wanted to talk to Za—"
"It's about... Zane."
"What?" She stands up at his pained expression. "Garroth, where's Zane?"
"He... Kawaii~Chan left to look for family, and... He became careless, Sil. When he was crossing... The... Sil, I..."
Understanding, she embraces her only remaining brother, tears falling into his shirt.
"Did he get... With V... And... Does she kn-know?"
"K-Kawaii~Chan... N-Not yet. She comes home tomorrow."
"Oh... Irene... Let me tell her, Garroth." She sniffs.
"I will. I figured I'd seem heartless, y'know, being a guy..."
"Bye, Garroth." She steps out the door.
"Bye, Silver." He closes it behind her. "Bye."

<|A year later|>
Garroth
After telling Kawaii~Chan, who cried for hours, Silver passed her to Aphmau, his best friend, and went to Laurance, who had just returned himself, to discover her, crying over the two male's deaths.
"Silver? What's the matter?"
"Vylad and Zane are... Gone."
"G-Gone wh— Oh Irene, I'm so sorry."
"I thought you'd be happy about Z-Zane."
"He was... okay. I never meant the death threats, you know."
"Mk-kay. I-I'll be right back."
The brunette nods, and she leaves the room, only to scream seconds later. He joins her, then covers her eyes and takes her back to his room, holding her close.
"He— My— Laur— G-Gar— He— No..." She hiccups.
"Shh... Shh..."
~~~<|||>~~~
So, that's why, two months after Garroth's gone, Kawaii~Chan sits curled up on hers and Katelyn's couch, still crying, blaming herself. Dante paces after Silver spilled everything. Cadenza visits every weekend, only to see Laurance comforting the only remaining Ro'meave sibling. All of them blame themselves. None of them should.
They come together, all in the girl's home. Kawaii~Chan tucks herself into the couch, Dante continues to pace by the window. Cadenza stands by the door, watching sadly as her adopted brother keeps the Ro'meave name alive.
"K-K-Kawaii~—"
"It's not your fault. KC, it's not. Zane... N-Never mind." She cuts herself off.
"I didn't know he..." Dante trails off.
"I-I didn't either, Dante. S-S-Silver, I am, so sorry. That was... Likely the worst thing you have ever s-seen. And it's all m-my..." Cadenza trips over her tongue, and Silver calms her down.
"Shh. N-No, Cadenza. It's okay. It's okay."
----------
The scene draws to a close. We learn from this that love is worth living for, and even not necessarily "normal" people should be happy.
So, if you are labelled "strange", "weird", "not normal", or anyone questions you, your gender, age, race, sexuality, or who you like or don't like, stand up for yourself. Be you, be true, be unique.
