It'll be to a body that doesn't listen anymore, a brain that can continue to betray him without warning.

Tenn marched forward, slashing everything within his sight until he saw strands of bright red hair."Wait," he stopped in his tracks, trembling "R-Riku is that you?"

Snow fell softly from the night sky, quiet and gentle, as if the world itself were holding its breath. The hill where the twins lay was blanketed in white, their small footprints already fading beneath the steady snowfall. Their parents had gone out that evening to perform at the theatre, leaving the twins in the quiet care of the night. It wasn't unusual-Riku and Tenn often found themselves alone when their parents were away. The theatre was theirs, a small family dream built with endless hours of sweat and song. At only 5 years old, Riku was too young to understand why their parents worked so hard, too innocent to see the shadows od exhaustion on their faces when they returned home. Riku, at 5 years old, never questioned it. To him, his parents always smiling, always strong and the theatre was nothing more than a place where the mother and father could sing and dance. He didn't notice the careful way they hid their sighs, or how their smile stretched just a little too long. Protected from worry, Riku's world remained simple and bright. But Tenn noticed, thought the same age, he was sharper, more watchful. He caught the flicker of tiredness in their eyes, the soft way they looked at Riku at though he were the most fragile treasure in the world. Their struggles were hidden from Riku, not because they wanted to lie but because even the smallest stress could endanger his weak body. Yet no matter what weight they carried, one things was certain, their parents loved their precious twins more dearly than anything else. Every performance, every smile, every late night was for them-for Riku's fragile health, and for Tenn's steady future and even if Riku was too young to see it, Tenn understood.
