This is a drabble that delves into Mika's point of view. She doesn't get nearly enough
attention. I tried to keep this under 150 words since I have the
tendency to be quite verbose.

It's hard to love unconditionally.
It's even harder when the person you love loves another.
The pain is nearly unbearable when that "another" is your younger brother.
And there are no words to describe it when you are married to that person. That person that
you'll always love, no matter the pain and grief they cause you. For when you love someone unconditionally, you are telling them they
don't have to love you back.
Mika understands that pain. It's the pain that she lives with daily, watching her husband pine after Eiri. The pain has twisted her and made her
bitter. This is why she loathes Shindou Shuichi. She sees how similar they both are (or rather how similar he is to who she was)
yet there is one thing that separates them and makes them entirely different.
His love is requited.
