Narrator's POV:

(A/N: Yay! another flashback!)

"Daddy why did those people take mommy?" Little Miku asks her father.

"Not right now Miku." Her father shoos her and resumes talking on the phone.

Miku trudges away and sees her brother on the stairs. His eyes are dark and he has tear stains running down his cheeks.

"Mikuo? Why did they take mommy?" Miku asks her brother.

"Go away Miku!" Mikuo shouts angrily.

"But why did they take mommy?" Miku cries worriedly.

"It's all your fault!" Mikuo shouts.

Miku's eyes widen. Mikuo goes on: "Mom has been sick ever since you came! It's your fault! If you never came, mom would be ok!" Mikuo shouts and stomps up the stairs.

"But...but I want mommy to be ok." Miku whispers and blinks back some tears.

<><>Time Skip<><>

"Was mommy sleeping?" Miku asked her father when they came home from the funeral.

"In a way." Her father replied sadly.

"Is that why you told me to be quiet?" Miku wonders aloud.

"Er...Yes?" Miku's father answers.

"When will mommy wake up?" Miku asks.

Her father doesn't answer. He doesn't know how. He wishes that Miku would stop asking him these questions.

"Miku..." He kneels down and looks in her big round innocent eyes. "...why don't you go play?"

"Okay..." Miku says slowly slinking towards her playroom.

She sits down and gives her teddy bear a big hug. There's a big heart patch on the front from when Miku played with her bear a little too roughly. Luckily mommy was an experienced stuffed animal surgeon.

Mikuo appears at the door.

"Mom isn't coming back you know." He announces.

"Why? Doesn't she love us?" Miku asks her brother looking directly in his eyes.

He glowers at her. "She's dead."

"But..."

"And it's all your fault!" Mikuo ends and slams the door shut.

Miku looks down at her teddy bear. Her eyes start to fill with tears. She crawls into her play tent and cries into her pillow. 

"Daddy is working. He must be sad since mommy is dead. We won't make him more sad because I'm crying." She whispers to her bear. "Daddy must hate me...because...it's...my...fault..." Miku started to sob again. Her daddy hated her. Her brother hated her. Mommy was gone. Len was gone. Nobody would love her ever again.

End Flashback.

Miku's POV:

"Is that your mom?" Len asks me.

"Y...yeah..." I reply.

"She's really pretty." he says.

"Thank you." I mumble.

"Is she at work or something?" Len inquired.

"No." My voice got really quiet. "She's...been dead for a while now..."
