At age twelve, Asama Minato experienced firsthand how a person's entire world crumbles down. It was supposed to be a happy day for him; since his family was going to a newly opened amusement park, but on the way, they got into a car accident. His parents, who were sitting at the front seat, had instantaneously died. His younger sister, Yukari, had been brought to the hospital along with him, but unfortunately didn't make it like him.

When Minato first woke up after the accident, he had found himself in a pure white room, lying down on a bed, and hooked to several machines. But it wasn't long before a nurse came in, and when she saw him awake, she rushed out again to find a doctor. The man who appeared in his hospital room minutes later merely looked at some sort of clipboard that was attached on his bed, before addressing him, asking him what he last remembered before he woke up.

The child had answered the man truthfully, and recounted how his family was taking a trip to the amusement park up until about how another car had collided with theirs. The doctor's face turned grim then, before telling him what had happened. He told the boy how the accident had been caused by a drunk driver, who had actually crashed into two cars with one of them, being his family's car. The man then gently broke the news that he was the only one who survived.

That had been the exact moment that his world began to crumble, and like any other child, Minato cried. Not just for his family members who were no longer in the realm of the living, but also for himself, who was left alone in this world. In the course of the next few days, the patient, Asama Minato was like an empty shell. The normally shy boy; became quiet and withdrawn. He didn't speak unless spoken to, and spent his days just staring out the window in his hospital room.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn't leave his room, and when he did he wouldn't interact with the other patients. But things changed one day, when his hospital room burst open to reveal a white haired man with glasses wearing a white suit and cape. "Minato, my dear boy, I heard you were awake and that you'll be discharged from the hospital soon!" The man exclaimed as he went closer to the boy's bed and took the clipboard, and began to examine it.

Minato, for his part was feeling pure unadulterated shock at the man's sudden entrance and his words, so he just continued to stare at the man who was now looking at the clipboard sidewards and backwards. "Hmm… Looks like aside from your broken arm, you only got a couple of cuts and bruises…" The man said as he looked at Minato and a huge grin appeared on his face. "Alright, I've decided! We'll get you discharged tomorrow!" He suddenly declared.

"But the doctors said…" Minato began weakly, only to be cut off by the older male. "Don't worry about it, I've already talked to your doctors and they say that it'll be fine to take you back with me!" He told the boy, which surprised him very much. "Take me back with you?" He repeated, and the older male nodded. "Yes, you see the truth of the matter is that I am your father! Me, Minaka Hiroto!" He revealed loudly, before it became softer. "Though I'm sure that you see Takehito as your father."

That had taken Minato by surprise. "You- You knew dad?" He asked which prompted a nod. "Hmm… That's right, I knew both he and your mom. They were both my colleagues… Well that is before they went and eloped, while taking you and your sister with them." He said and Minato could feel his face heat up, he never knew his parents had done that. "Oh, in case you're wondering why you never knew about this, it's probably because it happened shortly after Yukari was born."

"By the way, Yukari was my daughter as well… So, while I'm not claiming that I completely understand what you're going through, I can honestly tell you that I have also experienced loss with your family's death. I've lost Takami, my dear friend Takehito, and my daughter, Yukari." He gently told the boy before slowly patting the child's head. "If it's any consolation, you don't need to be the only one who feels grief at their passing."

As soon as the man had said those words, it was like a switch had been flipped in Minato and before he knew it he was already bawling his eyes out while holding onto the older man who continued to pat his head soothingly. There, Minato was finally able to let out all his grief, anger and loneliness, and when there were no more tears to shed, he felt better. Better than he felt in the last couple of days, and better than after he initially cried.

His family was gone, and no amount of crying could change that. But at the very least he wasn't completely alone in this world. "Right, now that your tears have dried, I should probably ask the doctor of your sister's condition." Minaka started which prompted Minato to look up at him. "But- Yukari is…" Minato trailed off as he looked down, still not being able to say it yet. "Oh, I meant your other sister, as in, the one that I just adopted. Oh, I got it! How about you go with me, it's as good a time as any!"

Minato felt bile rise up in his throat at the thought of a new sister, it was as if she was to replace Yukari, but didn't protest as Minaka ushered him out of his room and into another private room that was just three doors down from his own. But once he saw her, his heart immediately melted. There she was, probably just the same age, if not even younger than Yukari, asleep, hooked to four times as many machines as he was when he first woke up.

In comparison to all the big and beeping machines, she looked so frail and small. One look her pale face; and numerous bandages caused concern to flood his being. "Looks like we came in a bad time, but let me introduce you to my new daughter, and your new sister, Chiho." Minaka whispered to him in a tone that would be more appropriate when telling someone a secret. "What- What happened to her? How did she end up like this?" Minato whispered back, his eyes never leaving the girl on the hospital bed.

Minaka's face turned serious then as he gestured to the door, before beginning to leave the room with the boy following close behind him. Once they were already in the hallway, the older male began to speak. "Minato, did the doctors ever tell you how the accident happened?" He suddenly asked, which surprised the boy, but he nodded nonetheless. "He said it was caused by a drunk driver crashing into us." Minato quietly answered, and Minaka continued.

"Yes, and after the resulting collision five people immediately died, the drunk driver, your parents, and Chiho's parents." He told the boy, which caused Minato's eyes to widen. "Chiho, you see was in the other car with her parents that the drunk driver had crashed into. She had survived the initial crash and was sent to the hospital like you. She had managed to keep her life, but her legs suffered a lot of damage and she'll need a great amount of surgery and rehabilitation in order to walk again."

Minaka then paused, letting all that information sink in before looking at the general direction of Chiho's private room. "Minato, you saw how many machines were in her room, right? What do you think; don't you think that they're a bit too much even for someone who had just come out of an accident?" He suddenly asked and the boy thought back to the sheer number of the machines. "It does seem a bit too much, but if she needs them…"

"I guess you can say that she does need them, Minato. But in a different way than what you're thinking, because they're only to monitor her condition. You see, while the doctors were examining her blood, they found that something was off. As it turns out that girl is carrying an aggressive and from what this hospital can tell is an incurable virus." A lump suddenly appeared in Minato's throat as he spoke his next words. "Does that mean she's going to die?" He asked, and Minaka took some time before answering.

"If nothing is done about the virus, then she will die. But luckily for her, I, the CEO of MBI am now her father, so curing her is just a matter of time!" He declared proudly with a flourish of his cape. "In fact it's just all the more reason to have her discharged from this hospital as soon as possible! The sooner she leaves, the sooner I can give her treatments that I've developed over the last couple of days!" He said before suddenly running off. "If you need me, I'll be looking for Chiho's doctors!"

Minato could only blink and look at the place the white haired man had been and sighed. It seemed that the person who was going to take care of him and Chiho from now on would be a handful. As Minato was about to return to his room, he paused and looked back at the door to Chiho's room. It seemed that the longer he stared at it, the clearer it became to him what he needed to do. He then turned around and entered Chiho's room and walked to her bedside as quiet as he could manage.

While having a bit of trouble maneuvering between the machines, he finally reached his destination. Gently, he took one of Chiho's hands into his slightly bigger ones. "Um, Chiho-san, I mean Chiho-chan, my name is Asama Minato, and like you, I've also lost my family in that accident. But we're not going to be alone, because we'll have Minaka-san and you'll also have me. So, please don't worry, because everything is going to be just fine… We're going to be just fine."

And for a brief moment, Minato swore that he felt the small hand he was holding slightly squeezed his own back.
