Ryoka’s POV:
Ryoma has forgotten about me? Why? Oyaji did tell me this might happen but…. I am his sister! I am his twin-sister! I am the one who understands him the most! The one closest to him! Then….why?
I could sense my eyes getting watery. No. Echizen Ryoka never cries and never will. I stretched my hoodie to cover more of my face.
“Ne, kimi.” Ryoma said to me. “Why do you look like me?”
If I was not in such a situation, I would probably smacked his head and make him regret his words.
Oh no. The tears. It might fall.
I wanted to turn away, so I won’t need to face a humiliation here. However, my feet are stuck. It is like as if they are frozen in their places.
What do I do? What do I do?
Suddenly, I was picked up. I looked to see that Ryoga-nii picking me up. He carried me over his shoulder.
“What are you doing?”
No. It was not me who said it. It was Ryoma.
“Ne, Chibisuke,” Ryoga-nii said to him. “This is your fault. Well, not exactly… Just come with me.”
It was not his usual care-free, playful voice. It was stern. Really, really stern.
Ryoga-nii walked away from the group and head away from the park. I guess he is going home. I could see Ryoma following him. I guess he can’t object his elder brother. Rather, Ryoga-nii used a tone like that. It was really absurd. He doesn’t do that a lot…. I think.
“Ne, Chibisuke Number Two?”
I flinched in response.
“You owe me one.”
It took me a while to understand what he actually meant.

“So….Can you now explain why are you, that girl who looks just like me are gathering in my room?” Ryoma asked again for the fourth time.
Again, I still looked at my feet, observing the floor. Ryoga-nii messed his hair and sighed again.
And again, there was a long period of awkward silence.
I am tired of this. “How is it that you don’t remember me, Ryoma?” I asked him.
“Etto…. I don’t get what you are talking about.”
I sighed in defeat. “It is totally okay for you to forget Ryoga-nii ….but me? You dare forget kono Ryoka-sama!”
“Chibisuke Number Two! Why- Wait a minute. Your change of personality does show around Ryoma like usual….As well for Ryoma……He is not being the usual him when he is with you. Why do the both of you act so different around each other anyway?!”
“Stop whining around, Ryoga-nii.” I said as I glared at him.
“I am not whining! Rather aren’t you supposed to-”
“Aniki. Damare.”
And he shut up like I told him to. He knows that things are getting serious if I change the way I call him.
Ryoma cleared his throat. He certainly doesn’t have hint on what is going on. Urgh. Makes me want to whack his head. Like, right now at this moment.
