Fujimiya Ran, called Aya by a few people, was at that moment
setting flowers on two gravesites. His sister, the real Fujimiya Aya,
stood back a ways, tears pooling in her eyes.
She herself had been dead to the world for quite some time, until
a long string of events had awoken her from her coma.
Unfortunately, her parents could not just 'wake up.'
"I'm sorry," Ran murmured.
"It wasn't your fault, you know," she whispered
back. "You couldn't have done anything."
The red haired young man nodded slowly.
"I know. But I still--"
A low beeping filled the air, and Ran scowled, which was to say,
his usual frown deepened, making an almost scary visage.
Plucking the pager from a belt loop, Ran's frown deepened even
more when he saw who was trying to get hold of him.
"The others?" Aya asked. She had a very good idea what her
brother and his co-workers at the flower shop did, judging from her experience
only seven months ago, but she also had a very accurate idea that what she
*didn't* see was worse than what she *did.*
"Yes," Ran answered, his face relaxing a bit. No matter what
mood he was in, Aya always managed to soften it with just being around.
"You should go."
"I should," he agreed. "Come on, I'll take
you home."
The siblings took one last look at their parents grave sites
before Ran put an arm around his sister and hugged her to him, slowly drawing
her away.
"I love you, Ran-niichan," she whispered.
And just as softly, as he helped her into his car:
"I love you, too, imouto-chan."
*owari*
