Prologue

"Eh? A phone call for me on the public phone?" Genrou asked the wiry bespectacled student who came to find him.

The student with messy black hair nodded and pushed his spectacles up so that it sat perfectly on the bridge of his nose.

"Domo," Genrou said, casually patting the small teenager who only squeaked in response before hurrying off.

Genrou strolled to the phone knowing that it was probably nothing important.

'Hmph. Probably Kouji trying to get me to pick up some girls with him… that boke,' Tasuki thought, grinning a little.

"Kouji, if ya think I'm gonna help you find some chicks, yer mistaken pal!"
"Shun'u!"

Genrou's stopped.

"Jie jie?"
"Yes you idiot! Now you listen here!"
He sighed and muttered in Chinese, "I thought I'd escaped you when I went to Japan…"
"What?"
"Er… nothing."
"Fine! Shut up and listen!"

Genrou's hand convulsed as he heard his sister's voice over the phone tell him what had happened. He could barely hear her voice as she rattled on and on but he did catch what she said at first. His knuckles turned white as he tightened his grip on the receiver, unable to really process what he heard.

'Maybe she's just lying,' he thought, as he started to giggle uncontrollably.

"You… you're kidding, right?" Genrou's voice trembled.
"Why would I kid over such a matter?!" the voice over the phone yelled angrily. "You…"
"STOP LYING!" Genrou screamed, startling the students nearby. "You always lie! You always lie to me!"

The other end was silent for a moment but after the short pause, his sister continued.

"Shun'u, I wouldn't make an international call if it wasn't important. I'm telling you the truth."

Tears threatened to spill onto his cheek but Genrou wouldn't allow it. He choked back a sob and allowed the receiver to fall from his hands. Sliding against the wall to fall to the floor, Genrou took in a deep breath before burying his face in his hands.

He could still hear his sister's voice on the phone but he chose to ignore it.

'I was right when I made the decision to ignore everything around me a long time ago after all.'
