Being a single mother the past six years, everyday, had grown to be a challenge, it was inevitable. Despite having the support from various people, you were often struggling due to the mischievous personalities of your twins. You didn't think you would age double quickly after what had happened to Atsuhiro a few days ago.

The moment that you received the call from Bokuto, you couldn't even move your legs. You had instantly dropped the phone from your grip and felt your heart clench as you try your best to push away the thoughts of negative scenarios playing in your head. You were lucky that Reiji had decided to pay you a visit, or else you would have hadn't found the strength to stand and gather your thoughts together.

When you and Reiji had arrived at the hospital, Atsuhiko who was clinging onto Bokuto, a crying mess, had jumped out of the man's arms and ran straight to you, a string of questions about his brother had erupted from his mouth. All you could do was hold onto him tight and fight to hold back your own tears from spilling from the corners of your eyes, knowing that your distress would only upset him further. You didn't know what to answer yourself.

As Hiro's doctor explained his condition, you felt your knees grow weak and the air was knocked out of your lungs, you could only hold onto Reiji and Shizuma for support. Honestly, you couldn't believe what was happening. Was this your fault? Is this your karma coming to bite you in the ass? Hiro most certainly didn't deserve this. You were beating yourself up.

Hiro had been diagnosed with Bone Marrow Disorder, but the doctor had reassured you that it could easily be treated for his age and because it was in its early stages. All it needed was blood transfusions from someone that shared similar stem blood cells as Atsuhiko. To be sure, you had Atsuhiko checked in case the other twin shared the same illness.

Thankfully, he didn't.

Unfortunately, he wasn't a match for his brother's blood transfusion. Neither are you. Nor your friends who had volunteered. And you were on edge since then.

This is what had brought you to such a decision. What had brought you to come home. Back in Hyōgo, a place you promised not to return. However, you had grown desperate after every negative match results for Hiro was announced by his doctor. Reiji had offered to accompany you, but you refused, claiming this was something that you needed to do yourself, despite the risk of running into someone you didn't want to meet. You didn't have any choice. Your little boy's life was on the line, he mattered more. You were somewhat, finally, swallowing your pride. Of course, you had other options, but you couldn't bring yourself to approach the other two just yet, hoping that your trip to Hyōgo will solve your problems and you wouldn't have to come clean to the other two of your predicament.

You brush your fingers against the cold gravestone of your father's, feeling a lump form in the back of your throat. "I miss you, papa..." you mumble softly underneath your breath, a heavy sigh escaping your lips, "I wish you were here. I wish you could meet Atsuhiko and Atsuhiro, they would have loved you papa." Taking a few more minutes to yourself, you continue sharing about your twins to your father's grave. Tears gathered in the corners of your eyes as you lay a small bouquet of white Chrysanthemums on the foot of his gravestone. "I'll bring them here to you someday, papa. When Hiro gets better. I talk about you all the time, and they always say they want to go see you."
