Sure enough, as soon as Sis got off from work, she was ringing the doorbell at Kokoro's apartment, with Yuzuyu on her hip.

--

"Can you get that? I am a little busy right now." Kippei cried from the other room.

"…" Kokoro got up and answered the door, without a word.

"Kokoro-chan!" Yuzuyu cried when Kokoro opened the door. Kokoro stepped back and let the two in and then shut the door behind them.

"Kippei, where are you?" Sis cried from the entryway.

"Coming…" Kippei said as he came into the family room.

"Big brother Kippei!" Yuzuyu cried as Sis set her down on the floor.

"Hey, Yuzuyu, come give me a hug." Yuzuyu quickly ran over and hugged Kippei as tight as she could manage.

"Yuzu, you wanna do us a favour?" Sis asked sweetly.

"Yes!"

"How about you and Kokoro go play in a different room, so Kippei and I can talk?"

"Yes!"

Kippei looked up at Kokoro her expression still had not changed, it still seemed lifeless.

"Kokoro-chan, can we play with Mr. Bear?"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Kokoro-chan…"

"I am sure Kokoro would love to play with Mr. Bear." Sis cut in.

"Hooray!" Yuzu cried as she reached up and held Kokoro's hand with her empty one, before the two disappeared into the bedroom.

"Kippei…"

"I know…"

"Kippei, you should prob…"

"I know, I just…I just want to give her a little more time to…more time to fix it…"

"I know, but, Kippei, it is in her best interest to get her help…"

"I know…I know…"

--

"Kokoro-chan…"

"…"

"What's wrong?"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"What's wrong with Kokoro-chan?"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Kokoro-chan…what's wrong?"

"…"

"You know big brother Kippei is upset, cause something is wrong with Kokoro-chan…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"It makes big brother Kippei sad, that Kokoro will not talk…"

"…" Kokoro was now looking up at the five-year-old.

"Why won't Kokoro-chan talk to anyone?"

"…" Kokoro did not have an answer.

"…"

"…" Kokoro began to cry.

"Oh no Kokoro-chan, please don't cry…"

"…"

"I did not mean to make you cry…"

"Yuzuyu, what's going on in there?" Sis asked as she and Kippei approached the bedroom door.

"No-nothing!" Yuzu cried and tried to stand in front of the door, after she quickly locked it.

"Yuzu, open the door right now…" Kippei told her in a fatherly tone.

"N-no bi-big bro-brother-er Kip-kippei-ei c-can n-ot co-me-e in-in!" Yuzuyu began to cry because she knew that Kippei would be upset with her.

"Yuzu, please open the door we would like to come in." Sis said sweetly.

"N-no y-you wi-will be-e ma-d at-t Yu-zu."

"Yuzuyu, what is going on in there? Open the door right this second!" Kippei was now getting worried, he had images of what Kokoro could be doing to herself, flash through his mind.

"…"

"Yuzuyu, you have till the count of three or I am going to break this door down! Do you hear me?"

"N-no Ki-Kipp-ei!"

"One!"

"Pl-lea-se Ki-Kip-pei!"

"Two!"

"Kip-pe-ei No!"

"Three!"

"N-no!"

"Here I come!"

"N-no Ki-pe-pei I-I wi-ll op-op-en-n th-the d-do-door!" Yuzuyu slowly unlocked the door and pushed it open to see Kippei and Sis standing right there.
