Chapter 1: Life without them
"Onee-chan! come play with us!"
the child raised his hands inviting his sister to go play with them.
"Yes, of course."
Yuri replied calmly with a big smile. She started walking towards her siblings, but as she kept walking, they got farther and farther though it seemed like they were not moving at all. Yuri started run frantically with tears in her eyes. They turned their backs and went off in the distance leaving Yuri behind.
"NO! Comeback please!"
She woke up, sweating and teary-eyed, and realized she had a nightmare, although for her, the real nightmare is reality, as her beloved siblings have gone and passed away. Sometimes she thinks it was better for her to never wake up and keep dreaming.
"At least I'd be able to see them"
She'd say to herself with a bitter-sweet smile.
Yuri got dressed for school and came down stairs. Her parent's had gone early and left Yuri with her breakfast. She
went to the table to eat.
"Fried eggs again? They must be really busy"
She headed out to her new school and was very nervous to meet new people.
"I guess I can't really blame my parents for this, I was the one who asked to move to a different place ever
since…..that happened…."
Her sadness overcame the nervous feeling she had, yet she kept walking. Before she knew it she was in front of her classroom already. She opened the door and saw people taking with each other, she glanced back and forth to find an open seat. Once she found a seat the teacher came in and asked everyone to sit down.
"Ok class, today as you may have noticed, we have a new student."
*looks at Yuri*
"Please come in front and introduce yourself"
She walked towards the front and started to write her name on the board
She wrote 'Nakamura Yuri'
"Check for any misspellings Yuri, you don't want to be a laughing stock" She thought to herself
"Alright, Nakamura-san, would you please introduce yourself?" The teacher asked
Yuri faced towards her classmates, trying to overcome the nervousness she had.
"G-Good morning everyone. I am Nakamura Yuri, I hope we can all get along well"
Everyone looked like they had a good impression of Yuri. Seeing that, she was relived that she made it through
that part without embarrassing herself.
She headed back to her seat and classes began normally. She was able to make friends, particularly with a guy named
Yusuke, his friend Ichiro, and a two other girls, Makoto and Shiori. They all talked and laughed together at school during breaks.
*a few hours passed and school was over*
"Hey Nakamura-san, would you like to come with us? we're going over to Ichiro's place to help him with his work"
"Yeah, he's kinda dumb" Makoto interrupted
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
"Nothing nothing" she said with a little giggle
Yuri declined the offer and headed home. as she was walking, a sudden sadness struck her, the fact that she wouldn't see
her siblings back at home made her almost cry.
"I should've gone with them, but it probably wouldn't have made any difference"
This was her life, constant sadness brought about by reality, she couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't find anything to fill
the hole in her heart, nor anything that could lift the burden of regret from her shoulders. Every time she got home, she would see the sad and lonely looks on her parents' faces. She would lock herself in her room after dinner and cry herself to sleep, never being able to shake the thought of 'that' day.
