"Leeen!" the small girl cried, rushing over to her brother. "Do you hear the bells?" Her voice was high and excited, baby blue eyes shining as she looked at her twin brother. He giggled at her, and their fingers intertwined.
"They're really pretty, Rin!" Len said, grinning as he looked up at the church. Today was their fourth birthday, and they were being blessed by the chapel's staff. The two's parents had died a long time ago, their mother while giving birth and their father mysteriously disappearing from the throne of the kingdom. The two twins however were too young, too naïve to know the difference.
"Kagamine-san," an adult voice was heard as the two twins turned to the speaker, their hands still grasping each other's. "I'm sorry, but the church can't afford to keep you two here much longer…" Len blinked. What did that mean? Where were they going to go?
"Come with me," the man who was standing next to the woman huffed in his gruff voice, lifting Rin from under the arm to take her to the carriage. Len panicked. His grip tightened on his sister's, and he protested.
"No!" he cried, his eyes watering. "Why are you taking Rin away? Why?" He didn't understand it at all. They needed to be together! What would he do without her?
"Let go," the woman commanded, grabbing Len's arm and dragging him inside the chapel. The twins' hands were broken apart, but they still reached for each other in the vain hope of holding hands again. Tears ran down Len's cheeks, streaking his face as he screamed.
"RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!"
