The first dream happened two weeks after the change.
'Bro… Why are you doing this?'
Kazuyoshi just smiled at his brother. He wouldn't understand.
The dreams continued.
'Bro, it's okay if I don't exist! It's okay!'
'Don't you get it? I'm dead!'
'Bro, I don't like you like this…'
Kazuyoshi continued smiling, a part of him thinking, even, that if he stayed this way, at least he could see his brother in his dreams.
Soon, he as a second year at Kakei, and part of the Sket Dan. 'Switch' was now as much as part of him as it was his brother. But the dreams were relentless, and came every night, without fail.
'Bro, you've got your own life now, so why?
.
It was a warm summer's night, a heated breeze entering through the window. That's when he appeared for the first time.
"S-Switch?"
"Bro."
Had he fallen asleep at the desk? In a mad effort to reach out at his brother, his arm slid against the white-hot desk light.
"Bro!"
But the hand that reached out to help him was not solid.
All he could do was stare.
"Please, please don't tell me you're a ghost."
And despite his shock - his brother was a ghost! - all he could think was that this time, he had lost to Yuuki Reiko.
