Countdown to Zero

Siastra knew playing favourites is not the way you go around about twins. Maybe it was that fact alone that had punished them all that fateful evening.

And an eternal pang had settled heavy on her chest because she knew it was.

Then she was introduced to Yuki. She really wished she was the only one who met her but Zero met her too. And suddenly, even in the quiet moments of interaction where Zero didn't roughly accuse or push her away-- even in those rare occasions, she found herself fading away. In the recesses of their childhood...

The only barrier between them is the two feet wall now and yet it seems as if they're worlds apart. However, as Siastra decides enough of her moping, her renewed easy grace, blunt mouth and fierce energy calls deep into Zero's soul and begs for an explanation.
