Haru swam in the water alone, pushing out his frustration as he lost his mind and trained. He finished a lap and sighed before pulling himself out of the pool.

He walked out of the gates after a shower and noticed an SUV pass him, turning his head to watch the car as it sped down the street. He shook his head, people were idiots. He shoved his hands into his pockets and walked the lonely road home, wishing he'd asked Makoto to train with him so he wouldn't be alone.

He was looking at the floor and saw footsteps in the sand, hesitating for only a moment he followed the footprints, knowing instantly that it had been Makoto when he saw where they stopped. He smiled as he looked out at sea, breathing in the fresh sea air as he enjoyed the peace and serenity the sea always brought to his core.

He stood with his eyes closed for an undetermined amount of time before the tranquil air was disrupted by the loud shrill of an emergency vehicle. He sighed and walked along the beach while accepting that the peace was gone, the darkness surrounding him also prompted him to return home quickly.

He walked silently and his steps faltered when he saw a police vehicle at the bottom of the stairs to his own home. He walked closer to the steps and a bad feeling grew in his stomach, something was wrong. When he got to the steps he saw the Tachibana house door open with police entering and leaving the home.

His eyes widened and he walked towards the house, a police officer stopping him. "I'm sorry, we can't let you through." He told Haru distractedly.

Haru opened his mouth to answer when a cry came from the house, Haru and the officer turning towards the noise to see Mrs Tachibana standing at the door. "N-Nanase-sun." She sobbed and bowled towards the teenager. "P-Please tell me you know where Mako is." She begged and sobbed when he shook his head no. "He didn't come home from school! H-He always does, or lets us know when he isn't!" She sobbed loudly, gripping her husband's shirt when he held her.

Haru swallowed as he watched his second mother hurt, silently watching the flurry of officers and following the couple as they walked into their home. "Where are Ren and Ran?" He asked suddenly, noticing the absence of the young twins.

"With my sister." Mr Tachibana answered, looking to the door when a police officer walked in holding a voice recorder in his hand.

He sat opposite the parents and Haru and cleared his throat before speaking. "I'm sorry that we have to be here." He started earnestly. "Can you tell us what happened, and why you think your son is missing." He asked calmly, placing a voice recorder on the table in front of them.

"M-Mako is always home by six, or he tells us when he'll be late." Mr Tachibana started, his wife sobbing quietly as he held her. "I know that something is wrong, my son doesn't disappear without letting us know! He would never let his phone go to voicemail after we call him." He spoke clearly, confident with the words he spoke. He knew his son like her knew himself.

"He left the school at 4, after swim club." Haru added, causing a loud cry from the woman sitting close to him. "I stayed back to practice alone." He admitted with his head hung low. "If something has happened to him, it's my fault." He whispered to himself.

Mr Tachibana opened his mouth to protest before a knock at the door startled the room, a police officer standing at the door with an evidence bag in his hand. "Sorry to interrupt, but we found this in an alley by the beach." He said, offering the bag to his colleague.

Mrs Tachibana shrieked when she saw her sons phone in the bag, the back of the phone was detached from the phone and cracked. The police officer knew that the phone was linked to Makoto. "We will need a recent picture of Makoto-sun and a description of what he was wearing." The police officer spoke calmly and Haru stood up, going into the hallway to pick up the picture of Makoto and the twins the month before.

He handed the picture to the police officer. "Find him." He spoke sharply. "Find my brother."

Not sure how I fell about this one, let me know whether I should alternate chapters like this or only recap with the other every few chapters?
