Sitting on the sidewalk in the front of a convenience store, two boys were sipping on a canned drink silently. Both of them had brown hair, the same size and the same face. But one of them wore glasses and had longer hair, with thin braids behind his head; they didn't make him look girly at all, it was actually very stylish. He had a poorly done beard, clearly on purpose.

The other boy had shorter hair. His facial expressions were the same as his brother but he didn't wear glasses or a beard. They were sharing the green tea can, passing it around from one and another. They would rather do like that, Mairu claimed, because this way they were always 'indirectly kissing', or something among these lines. When Kururi finished it, Mairu threw it on the garbage bin.

"Alright! Four o'clock! Let's go to Nee-chan's apartment."
"Sure."

The boys were skipping classes, but since they weren't dumb, they waited until their classes were officially over before heading to her apartment; she didn't need to know about their eventual skipping. So they walked together towards Shinjuku, their bags hanging besides their bodies.
It had been two days since they went to Kanra's apartment to talk about Kasuka. And she was normal on the first two days. Now was the third day.

When they got there, they knocked and called, as always. But nobody answered though they thought they heard footsteps inside the place. Soon after, Namie opened the door and told them that she was out.

They asked if they couldn't wait to her to come back, but Namie sent them away. Walking back, none of them was happy about it. Not at all. Something was off and they knew it. They could try again tomorrow. After skipping classes again.

Namie closed the door, when she was sure they really went away and then walked back in. "Are you sure about that?"

Leaning against the couch in front of the TV, she only muttered. "Yeah… I don't want to see them right now." It hadn't been long since Kasuka was there, talking with her. And she wasn't in the mood for anyone.

The next day, they went over again and this time, they wouldn't take no for an answer. When Namie peeked at the door, Mairu pushed it, getting into the apartment. This time, Kanra was sitting on her desk, typing on her computer. She flashed a smile, a fake smile, towards them.

"Heey, what's up, boys?"

Mairu raised an eyebrow at his sister, before exchanging a glance with Kururi.

"Nee-chan! Kuru-nii and I were wondering where were you yesterday!"

"Oh, I'm sorry… I was a bit busy."

The twins didn't buy it. Later on, the conversation continued normally. Way too normally for the Orihara trio which only confirmed the brothers suspicions; something was off. They were soon dismissed and both of them were quiet walking back home, until Kururi spoke.

"Discover… Truth. We must find out what really happened." Mairu nodded.

"We really have to, Kuru-nii. Something happened and she doesn't want to tell us. Should we see Shizuo-san? Maybe he could tell us the truth."

"Negative… Nee-chan angry. Talk, her… before. We shouldn't, it could made Nee-chan mad. Let's talk about it with her first."

Mairu inhaled deeply. "Okay. Let's try again tomorrow. We can press her harder… Until she admits it to us. Whatever she has to admit, anyways."

Kururi nodded and they finally got home, preparing their strategies for the next day.

The following day the boys got out of class and walked silently towards Shinjuku. Even after staying up all night trying to figure something to make Kanra talk to them, they got nothing. It's not easy when your sister is always thinking one step ahead and has so many masks. And even thought they could tell her masks apart, they couldn't find out what was the true emotion she was hiding. This time was the same.

All they knew was that something was off. And that Kanra wasn't willing to talk about it. Maybe they really should talk with Shizuo. Maybe he could clear things up. But Kururi was right, Kanra would get angry at them.

Mairu sighed and looked up to a billboard. There he stood; Yuuhei-san, in all his glory, holding a sword while staring intently with the corner of his eyes, probably towards a monster or enemy. He halted while staring at the image and Kururi got closer to him.

"Thinking? What are you thinking about?"

"Ah, Kuru-nii. I wonder if Kasuka did something, after all. Is he still in Ikebukuro?"

"Don't know."

"Well… Let's go." And so they walked to their sister's apartment. When they got there, again, the secretary greeted them and there she was; Kanra was as always in her computer, and she smiled seeing them. That fake smile, they thought in unison.
"Hello, boys! ~"

"Hey, Nee-chan."
"Hello…"

"How can I help you today?" The twins were pretty undecided with what they should do, so Mairu sighed again, deciding they should just face her.

"Nee-sama… What happened between you and Shizuo?"

She looked up at them and her smile almost faltered. Almost. "Why are you asking about that brute right now?" She leaned on her chair, spinning slowly.

"Because we know something is wrong. With your attitude, especially."

"You're wrong. I'm great! Never been better." To keep her mind off them, she got a nail file from the top drawer, as if the twins didn't reserve a minimum of attention. Mairu gritted his teeth, bolting towards Kanra banging both of his hands on her table.

"Look at us!"

She did. Kanra stopped fixing her nails and raised her head, staring dangerously into her brother's eyes. Her next words were harsh and cold.

"I broke up with him. I don't need a monster with a protozoan brain helping me with this."

"Wha-? But you a few days ago you were clinging to him like…" The twin was feeling his patience slipping through his fingers, especially when she cut him short.

"Yeah, it was fun seeing him all love struck. But now I'm tired of it, it got boooring. ~" Kanra closed her eyes, spinning while she sung the last word.

Mairu was about to scream something, anything at her, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned his face, staring directly into his brother's eyes.

"Enough… Go. That's enough… Let's go home." Mairu inhaled deeply, trying to calm himself down.

"Fine. Let's go." He backed up, grabbing his bag, walking away. Kururi turned to his sister, muttering.

"Back… Soon. We'll be back in a few days."

"Whatever… Bye, bye. ~" She waved them off and when they closed the front door, she dropped her face. Oh, great. She just got into a fight with her brothers because of all that. She lowered her arms on the table and later, she pressed her face against it.

"Damn… Dammit. Namie… Am I doing the right thing?"

Namie lowered the file she was reading, emotionless as always.

"Just stop sobbing everywhere. It's annoying. You are doing what you chose to." Putting the file down, she walked to her purse, grabbing and putting it over her shoulder. Kanra raised her head, showing almost desperate eyes.

"Y-you're leaving?"

"Yes." She muttered without turning to see her boss' face. "It's already five. See you tomorrow." And she hurriedly left, swearing when she had to wait for the elevator.

When she got down, Namie quickened her walk, and almost when she saw the familiar brown haired boys close to her, she called.

"Hey! You two!"
