Hi everyone, here's my update for the day! I don't think anyone's really reading this story, but oh well. To you random strangers who happen to stumble upon this, enjoy your stay!


It was early the following morning when Jun and Ryuu arrived at the hospital. Neither had much sleep, yet they were eager to meet with Megumi. They were greeted by several nurses and given general directions, although everyone had been too busy to guide them to the mental ward.

After meandering through the maze-like halls, Jun and Ryuu arrived at the right ward.

"We're here to see Megumi Yamamoto," Ryuu said to the nurse at the front desk.

"Have you scheduled a meeting with her?"

"She was admitted last night," Ryuu tried to explain. "We were told to come back today to see her." His voice grew more agitated.

"I'm sorry, without a scheduled meeting, we cannot allow you to see her."

"This is her twin brother! We're worried sick, please just let us see her!"

Jun grabbed onto Ryuu's arm as if trying to calm him down. "Ryuu-nii…"

Ryuu sighed before approaching the nurse more rationally, "I'm sorry, miss. How may we schedule a meeting with our sister?"

The nurse handed the two a form and turned them away. As they walked to a bench with clipboard and pen in hand, Jun's eye suddenly saw a familiar pink head.

Leaving Ryuu without a moment's hesitance, Jun sprinted towards the boy.

"Yahiro! Yahiro!"

Yahiro's eyes widened at the sight of only one of the twins charging at full force towards him.

"This hospital… Your family owns this hospital, don't they?"

Confused by his sudden outburst, Yahiro could only nod.

"You have to make them let us see Megumi today, Yahiro!" Jun begged.

Ryuu finally caught up with the two and lifted the younger twin onto his feet.

Bowing himself, Ryuu asked, "Please, Yahiro, we need to see Megumi right now."

"Megumi…" Yahiro started. "Is admitted into this hospital?"

"She overdosed last night and wouldn't let us see her."

Yahiro muttered to himself, "That idiot, why would she do such a thing?" Collecting himself, Yahiro walked confidently towards the nurse that had turned away Ryuu and Jun.

"We are visiting a patient called Megumi Yamamoto. If ever these two come wishing to see her, you are to permit it."

The nurse nodded meekly and directed them to Room 501. "She is in here receiving treatment, Yahiro-sama."

Yahiro nodded and opened the door. The three of them walked in to be greeted by Megumi's sitting silhouette. Her body, seeming almost ghostly, faced towards a window, without responding to their entrance.

"Megumi! Megumi!" Jun hollered as he scrambled to hug his sister.

Megumi could only look at her brother, as there wasn't a sketchbook or whiteboard in sight. Her eyes welled up in tears as she hugged him back.

"Ryuu-nii?" she whispered.

"I'm right here, Megumi." Ryuu said as he hugged her, too. "I won't be going anywhere.

Yahiro, unknowing what to do, walked towards the trio and put his hand on Megumi's head affectionately, relieved she seemed well.

Suddenly Megumi's body tensed as she felt Yahiro's hand. She turned towards him with her eyes wide.

"I don't want to see you!" She screeched louder than before.

"Megumi, you're voice! Please don't strain it." Jun clutched his sister tighter, preparing for the worst.

"Don't touch me!" Her pupils shrank as her eyes darted around frantically like a maniac. "Go away! I never want to see you again!"

Megumi alternated between sobbing and screaming until her voice broke. Nurses rushed into the room after they heard Megumi, ushering the three visitors out, despite Megumi clutching desperately onto Jun and Ryuu.

"Ryuu-nii! Jun!" She cried into her hands; the sound of her voice, that was once ever so delicate, was scratched and heartbroken. Soon, she was sedated. Her shrieks became muffled as she collapsed back into the hospital bed.

Ryuu and Jun pleaded to be let back into the room, yet this time, the nurses were adamant. Despite their protests, Ryuu and Jun were forced to leave.

Yahiro stood in a daze, victim to what they just witnessed. Up until now, he had been completely unaware of the magnitude of his presence in Megumi's life. And yet her protests echoed clearly in his mind; never had he been treated with such malice. He staggered away, clearly still affected by the incidence.

Looking once more at the room where the girl who loved him stayed, he whispered, "I'm sorry, Megumi. You won't ever have to see me again."
