1. Who is your favorite Sakamaki?

[*Cassandra sits down on a chair and think well her response for a lo~ng time*]

Well... you ask me a very difficult question, do you know? It could be a shield and also a dagger! But I guess it would be only between us...

[*deep breathe, opens her mouth to answer*]

Iー

Pffー

[*laughs*]

Even though it is so difficult! It is not like I cannot choose one above all, I cannot choose one!

[*chuckles*]

I am kidding, well... it does not totally a joke... I guess I am not good at jokes.

I am not the kind of person that think in absolute responses, so, I shall tell you what I think and why.

I have two favorites, and this actually causes me a lot of troubles... I like Shu-san and Reiji-sanーー but not that way! I meanー they are handsome, but everyone know that Sakamaki brothers are good looking men. I like them because their behaviors.

Shu-san is a lazy man, that is true, and I also know about people that is always telling me that lazy people is... 'trash'? It was the word...? It does not matterーー Shu-san is a lazy man but, to me, it means that he is the most close representation of a free man. He always does whatever he wants, and look at him! He knows about a lot of things too! He is always there, not bothering anyone, not being noisy, not being bad with anyone at least you bother him. He does not support the order but neither the chaos. He is in the line of calmness and equilibrium. Also he has a particular and very good musical fancy. I enjoy to pass time in silence with him, it is very relaxing. It is like...being in a paradise corner in middle of the chaos. Simply pleasant.

And Reiji-san... do you actually watch how he is? He is always so perfectionist, I actually want to know how he could be like that! Even if I try and try I cannot be in the same level that he is. It is like... when you see the sunshine? Even if he looks more like a dark knight. He is always awesome, it does not matter what do you want him to do. Nonetheless, he is always learning something new, and looking for use his knowledge to solve problems. That is very impressive! So gentlemany and intelligent. I could expend hours and hours learning from him. Take time to understand the world and have his point of view, it is just perfect. I can feel that the knotty world where we live is less tangled when I am with him.

ーー Ah! I just remembered that Reiji-san is the one that calls 'trash' to Shu-san!

But, I guess that none is perfect, and people have their own point of view of what is correct or not, and reality, as philosophy always says, is not the same to everyone. But, even so, I found amazing people inside of both of them, and I want to spend time with whoever of them as much as I live.

5. Who is your favorite parent?

That is easy! My favorite parent was my father!

My father always wanted me as a intelligent and talented woman. Whatever I wanted to learn he always helped me to get information. We read books together, we talked about whichever topic, he encouraged me to paint...

It is amazing how one person can change all your world. My father was part of me little bubble, and he taught me the most important thing: how to dream.

22. Which brother is more like you?

Which one...

Hum... Ruki-san I guess? We have a lot of things on common. We are quiet people -I am quiet the most part of time-; we appreciate romantic details; also we like romantic novels; we like puzzles and we get obsessed with it; we take care to other people, even more if we love them; we are sensitive, we always watch how our fellow feels...

But those are just... coincidences. Even with, that we are such different one to each other...

Even so, we spend time together and we enjoy our company, feeling attracted by the same type of things, sharing new things...

ーー Also! Some friend told me once that I seem like Kou-san!

[*chuckles*]

You spiral into Patton’s past dreams. 

At first, nothing makes sense, just a jumble of disjointed thoughts that don’t completely even form. But suddenly a bunch of colors bloom around you, a cacophony of voices suddenly speaking all at once.

The voices don’t sound like they’re taking a breath, but they slowly grow quieter until they fade back into silence once again. 

And then in the next moment, the sun-speckled, snow-covered ground around you nearly blinds you. But that doesn’t prevent you from you seeing what you need to see.

A younger version of Patton is playing happily in the snow, bundled up, but yet not as much as a traditional human child would be at the temperatures his surroundings were at. 

His face is exactly what you would think he would look as a much younger child. But instead of his current nearly white blond curly hair of the present, this younger version of Patton has thick and perfectly straight raven-black hair that a usual dwarf has.

Not concerned with his hair in dream obliviousness, this dream child Patton runs and rolls around in the snow with reckless abandon having the time of his life. That is until a gust of strangely warm wind blew through the area hot enough that the snow around Patton should’ve melted if this were not a dream, but it didn’t.

Immediately, Patton stood up from where had been making snow angels to gaze around before his gaze almost immediately fell on a figure shrouded in shadow in an ice cave nearby that the warmth feels like it’s coming from.

Patton doesn’t even hesitate before running up to the mouth of the cave, squinting into it curiously but not crossing the threshold. 

From within the cave, the figure steps up to the mouth of the cave, impossibly still shrouded in shadow. At this close a range, the shadow across the figure looks strangely... stained? That’s the best word to describe the strange texture of the shadow.

The humanoid shaped shadow moves swiftly, bringing out something in their hand. Their hand hovers just before the border before opening it’s hand to reveal Patton’s necklace. The grey of the pebble on the shadow creates a stark contrast to the white and black of Patton’s dream surroundings. 

Patton’s eyes lit up when hee sees it. He quickly cups his hands to accept it. And when the shadow does place the necklace into them, the barest edge of the shadow’s fingers suddenly become the familiar natural color of a human or elves fingers. 

Towering over young Patton, Patton has to crane his neck to beam up at the shadow person in thanks.

Once he pulls the necklace down onto his neck, though, two different voices come from the shadow at the instant.

“Please go now.”

“I love you.”
