A rainstorm.
An accident.
Two fatalities.
Two orphaned brothers.
One terrible night.
"T...Tadashi...?"
"Yes, Hiro?"
"Wh-why...hic...why did mom and dad have to die?"
"...I don't know."
"It's not fair!"
"I know."
"I...I want them to come back!"
He choked. "Me too, Hiro, but..."
Silence. All except for a young boy's soft sobbing.
"...Tadashi?"
"What is it, Hiro?"
"...you won't leave, too, right?"
Tadashi stared at his little brother in shock. "Huh?"
Hiro looked up at him with tear-filled eyes. "You and Aunt Cass...are you guys gonna die too?"
Tadashi quickly got up and gave his brother a tight hug. "No way, Hiro! I'll never ever leave you. Never."
"P-promise?"
"I promise, Hiro."
A fire.
An explosion.
Two fatalities.
One orphaned brother.
Way too much pain.
Hiro was the only one still standing in his spot after the funeral, and all he could do was stare up at the sky and spit out an angry, bitter word:
"Liar."
