Summary: I will always love my brother. Always...

Always

Prologue

--

"B-Brother...!"

In my eyes, back then...

I saw my brother suffering.

He was going through something that I couldn't see, couldn't understand.

And when the fight within him was over, I knew that my brother, the one who would show only me his smile, was gone.

"Agh!"

I saw the demon within my brother surface...

"W-what are y-you doing? Brother...?"

But I wouldn't believe it.

I couldn't...

"Aaaaagggggghhhhh...!!"

And somehow, somehow...

I knew that my brother was off to the side, watching and waiting for the day he could return again.

Following the darkness he tried so much to hide from me, but knowing that one day, I would see.

And on that day, even in spirit, he whispered these words that made me change, for the better, or for the worse.

"Reality is a cruel thing, that is why..."

I have always wondered what he would have said next.

Always...

Because deep inside, I knew that I will always love my brother, no matter what...

Always...
