tw: long mention of kyoko's deceased mother 

( kyoko's pov )

( june 13th, saturday - i'll put the dates like this from now on :) )

i gently turned the key in the lock twice to open the door. i did it as quiet as possible, to not to be heard.

and the door opened. i took off my boots and stepped in. i took my boots inside and placed them in the corner.

there seemed to be no sign of my dad yet. pretty nice.

i closed the door and walked to the kitchen. i placed the light market bag on the table. after work, i went to the local market to get some bread, knowing there wasn't any left at home.

also, there's something strange. there aren't any beer glasses around the kitchen. it's just like how i left it in the morning. that's odd.

i washed my hands and walked to my dad's bedroom... but there was no one.

why does that scare me?

even more strange, the closet is open. but not my dad's side of the closet...

my moms' side of the closet instead.

and there's a dress laying on the bed. my mom's dress... i remember this dress from a picture. the dress she wore on my 6th birthday. it's light blue, and has some flowers sewed on it.

it's a nice dress. i remember the times i would sneak to my parents' bedroom to wear my mom's dresses... then i would wear them and show my mom. that always made my mom laugh, especially that how big the dresses were on me.

she always told me that i was going to wear her dresses when i become older. i think they would fit me now, my mom was pretty slim even when she was around her thirties.

but i don't think i can ever wear her dresses. that would just be to sad to do.

anyways... i'm really curious about why the dress is on the bed. who did this? who took that dress out?

i sighed and walked to the living room. and there, was my dad laying on the couch, asleep. no glasses here aswell. this is very, very strange.

i walked to my bedroom and closed the door afterwards.

i quickly got dressed up and threw myself on the bed as i let out a sigh.

i received a message from my uncle today. he asked me if him and my grandfather are going to be visiting us for the whole week for next week, and i said yes. being alone with my dad is the least thing i want.

i didn't see sayaka today. i heard her voice from the studio though, they were having a practice.

i'm sure i've been at work for more than 3 hours today, even though if i went there late.

i grabbed my phone and there i see, 9.36 pm.

it's late... and boring.

i stared at my phone for a couple seconds and just at that moment, i received a message.

from sayaka.

sayaka

kiriiiiiiii! hi :D

i smile at the message and start typing.

hello, sayaka

could i ask something??

sure, go ahead
