Once her name left her lips, he knew exactly who it was. His body began to shut down almost and left him weak in the knees. His constant thoughts of the past and nightmares from that day made him imagine her dead from the flames of the orphanage. Nothing bring her back, his brain often thought. But she must have escaped somehow, his heart cried on. And so his heart was correct in the end, his sister standing before him in his very school hallway. It wasnât dream, it was reality and it felt like the world stopped for this moment.
â M ⊠Miki ⊠Y â Youâre ⊠â His words failed him and he began to notice students staring at the two. Akihiko did not wish to stay any longer and began to drag her to an empty classroom. It was during the break so the classrooms seemed to have no one in sight. Lucky for him. He felt the urge to collapse and cry at her feet, let his emotions take over for the rest of the time he had with her as if she would fly away like ash. But he stayed tall in his posture, keeping his proper form even if he felt like the earth was about to crush him. â ⊠This isnât some ⊠sick joke is it? Youâre really ⊠Miki? â
