HPFC Rebirth of the Daily Weird Thing challenge.

Prompt: childhood memories


Riku Yagami still remembered it all, especially when he ran. Tomoe was always there. Always there, shadowing over Riku.

He had worked so hard to impress his big brother, but Tomoe couldn't even spare a second to even glance at Riku.

"You're not good enough yet."

Now on Honan's stride team, Riku had tried pushing past the opaque barrier of his brother, but still, people compared and couldn't see the real Riku. Just like in childhood, people compared and didn't look over Tomoe's shoulder to see Riku.

And so, as he performed parkour and ran impossible paths, his brother was there, right next to him, a ghost but yet not; blocking Riku from the audience's view.
