The weeks swept on, I performed with my sister a lot more often, we all sang together; Miku, Rin and Len sang with us, too! It was November and nee-chan's birthday. We went over to Master's home to celebrate, he took his time off from work.
Meiko and I talked with him all day while the twins were silent, Len never looked into his eyes; whenever he went up to ask something from Master, it was as though he couldn't see who was in front of him, his eyes appear clouded.
We played all sorts of mini games and danced through the night, we were all so tired that we fell asleep on the couch! Miku was kind enough to bring blankets to keep us warm. We went back home in the afternoon just so we could stay with Master for a little longer, our days felt better. We made songs and albums, we went out together as a family to meet the producers or to have fun. We saw Miku less and less.
It was now December, and today was not just any other day, it was Rin and Len's birthday, this time the party was set in our house, Master did come to celebrate but not for long. Gakupo came over, Miku was there along with Sweet Ann who came to visit. This had to be the best day for them, this was their first birthday. This could've taken place outside but due to very cold temperatures and the possibility of getting snowed on that week, we didn't go out.
Both Kagamine twins were really excited with their eyes shining in pure joy, everyone had gone back home late and Sweet Ann stayed over for the rest of the week. I hadn't really met Sweet Ann, but Meiko did, she kept in touch with her. We went to the airport to see her fly off back home, we rarely saw her but we all liked her. It was near the end of January and a new addition was added to our family, Megurine Luka.
We went over to Master's place to see him activate her, Meiko's hands were pressed against the window. The way Luka sat on the white bed with such eloquence and her pale blue eyes as she opened her eyelids. I could see my sister's eyes glisten as I turned over to see her.
"Hello! My name is Megurine Luka, it's a pleasure to meet you. You two are so cute." Luka examined the twins, "Lenny, I don't understand what she's saying." Rin held onto Len's hand. "Can you both speak English?" She chuckled, the twins could not answer her, "Speak?" Len's voice cracked in response. "That's okay, I can teach you."
We went out shopping to buy clothes and whatever else Luka needed, we didn't have enough time to purchase furniture so that had to be done online. For that night, Luka slept in Meiko's bedroom, they kept on chattering, for a new Vocaloid, she could easily socialize with anyone.
It was February and past my birthdates, our new family member was perplexed as to why I had the longest birthday, I only celebrated on Valentine's Day. I didn't expect chocolate but dear little Rinny gave me some.
Luka sang with us and the only time we saw Miku was during our concerts when we had to do a photo, music videos or go to the recording room. That year was not the best, and especially not for Meiko.
My sister's fame had been robbed out of her and I gained popularity. I had gone through countless of meetings and performances with Miku; for a month, we sang together and even that was gone out of my life.
She was colder, meaner. Luka never got the chance to like her and Rin's sisterly bond with Miku had vanished. Hatsune Miku was all Master ever talked about and he was always busy working on her to make her better.
Meiko stopped singing.
Heartbroken and eventually drowning herself in alcohol, not because of Miku but the stress Master caused. I only hoped she would stop drinking, she never did but she drank less. Her body did not contain enough alcohol to make her drunk.
That was good enough for me, I still loved her.
