Chapter 1
It's as if I'm trapped in a never ending nightmare. Tragedies always find me, and take away what's dear to me. I've lost my parents, my heart, and I'm about to lose my dear beloved brother Aishoku Mizudori.
Aishoku Mizudori, age 10, Occupation: Enshoku Middle School. Dark brown hair and eyes. Aoko Mizudori, age 15, Occupation: Enshoku High School. Dark brown hair and eyes.
Ever since I could remember, Aishoku and I didn't want to be separated from our home. Constantly when the social worker came by we would call our neighbor over. We have been taking care of each other since five years ago. I guess you could say that it is just another way of clinging to the past. That is not how we look at it.
And yet, here I am, sitting so close to him, my brother. Waiting for an answer to his illness. Ever since I started studying at Enshoku High School, he keeps collapsing, very weak, has excessive bruising, fatigue, pain in his bones and joints, really high fevers, and strangely bleeds in a very peculiar way. The neighbor that used to come over before I was at the age to take care of him even noticed a difference. "Onee-san", Aishoku quietly whispered, "Are you feeling okay, you have been zoning out this whole time".
How I loved his soft voice. "I should be the one asking you, Aishoku are feeling alright. Tell my if have another fever 'kay.", smiling won't help this pain.
