I'm back from the hiatus!

Hardships.

Please note that I do not own anything except the plot and the original character.

From now on, this will be in Third Person's POV.

Mira has been training very hard, she has been training whenever she has time to spare. She wanted- no, needed to escape from her thoughts. The voices kept haunting her no matter what she tried to do to get rid of it. At night, she would just cry herself to sleep, begging for the voices to go away. Mumbling and apologizing.

Whenever Yume saw Mira, she would always be training, but as time passes, Yume realised that her junior looked more and more exhausted. Yume thought that Mira looked desperate, as if she was trying to escape from something.

Yume would stand from afar and watch Mira, contemplating whether she should approach Mira. However, after watching Mira a bit more, Yume could no longer take how bad Mira was looking and approached her. Mira was curled up into a ball at the side of the training room.

"Mira-chan..." Yume called out.

Mira was surprised to see her senpai here, she didn't hear anyone approaching her. Mira quickly wiped away her tears, hoping that Yume didn't see anything. Yume sat down next to Mira and asked, concerned, "Mira-chan, are you alright?"

Mira didn't want to burden Yume, so she lied and said that she was perfectly fine. 

Yume, on the other hand, knew that Mira lied, but she didn't want to pressure Mira. Instead, she talked about herself, "During the time when I was suffering from that mysterious power, Principal Moroboshi sent me to see the idol Yukino Hotaru-san, she told me about her story and made me realize that I should have more confidence in myself. I realized that I wasn't alone, and that powered me through."

Mira sighed and smiled wryly at Yume, she turned back facing the wall on the other side of the room, "Nijino-senpai, you really see through everything don't you? Yes, I admit that I was trying to be someone else."

Mira took a deep breath and gathered up her courage and started talking, "I... had a sister, her name was Asahina Yona. She was two years older than me.

My parents loved my sister, she was great in everything she did. I admired her, I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that she's my ideal type of what a person should be. My family believe that she had great potential to take over their family business once she was old enough. However, she was interested in becoming an idol, she would spend all her free time training whenever she didn't have to study. 

But one day... I asked if she could go out and play with me during her free time, and she agreed."

Mira paused and stopped talking as she concentrated on the wall, or else she felt like she was going to cry. Once she felt better, she continued, "I shouldn't have asked her. We were caught in a car accident. When I woke up in the hospital, I found out that my sister took most of the damage since she stood in front of me in order to protect me. And of course... she didn't survive, when my parents found out, they blamed me for my sister's death.

And I guess it is my fault, if I didn't ask my sister to go out to play with me, she would still be alive right now."

Upon finishing her sentence, Mira started crying uncontrollably. Tears continued to flow no matter how much she tried to stop it. 

Seeing her kouhai in such a state, Yume engulfed her into a hug. Yume was sad and angry that someone had to go through such hardships. No one should ever be blamed for an accident, it's nobody's fault that it happened.

Yume kept comforting her and told Mira that she did nothing wrong. At the same time, Yume finally understood why Mira was bestowed with the Lost Star Wings instead of the Star Wings.

[End of chapter 20]

Yes, I'm really late and I didn't update last week. I'm sorry. And I shall apologize in advance that updates will be coming slower, since I will be getting busier. I hope you've enjoyed the chapter. And this book should be ending soon? I'm currently writing a new book now that's not Aikatsu Stars!. BUT, I am planning another Aikatsu Stars! book so don't worry about it.

And I was thinking about watching the Aikatsu Friends? Then maybe I could write something about it.

Tell me what you think about.

Bye!
