-JP's Nagoya Branch-

On a wintry night, Saturday. A young boy in a red cat parka watched his big brother work diligently, signing papers after papers. It's a tedious work so he decided to help his older brother with the things he can do. The lavender haired heard his brother mumbled his thanks so in return he nods his head and continues his work. They finish their work within an hour or so.

"...Happy Birthday..." Greets Teito whilst giving him a small wooden box with a black bow tied around it. "Thank you." Daichi smiles at him then opened the box. The content was a simple charm in shape of a cat's head. A silver chain string into it.

"I didn't know what to get you. I apologize." the black haired mutters while turning his head somewhere else. This makes the younger smile wider, he actually wants to cry out of happiness, he was touched by the older brother's gesture. The lavender haired did receive gifts from other people but the one from his family is exceptional.

He'll treasure them as long as he lives.

"Don't apologize. It's utterly cute, I like it!" He beamed happily while putting it on then pulls his brother off of his chair. Dragging the other somewhere. Leaving the Headquarters.

"Wha—?"

"Let's eat cake and fries." The younger said. He didn't know why yet he felt that this will be the last time he'll be doing this with his second brother. It's foreboding, Daichi wished nothing extremely terrible will happened.

Teito stares at him, nodding his head. He could feel the younger's trepidation but he wonders why is he anxious...? Could it be, it's that person?

The two siblings bought a cake and fries before going back to the HQ and spend the Christmas Eve, catching up with each other, creating happy memories that the two of them will share as long as they live... Like it was the last.

-JP's Osaka Branch-

Yamato Hotsuin walked into his office only to stare blankly on the desk. Seems that an unwanted guest arrived.

There's a man, perched on his desk. His legs were crossed while a hand prop behind him. Yamato eyed the man's attire. He was wearing a white parka with dog ears on its hood.

"Who might be are you?" he asked. His tone is colder than ever as usual. He is Yamato Hotsuin after all. The man barely move his head towards him, the silverette can see a small smile on the other's lips. "I found it funny that I used to be that cold back then, before meeting him and the others. Oh well." The man said, not directly to him.

The man removes the hood on his head. Warm yet playful gold eyes happily greets him. This man looks...

"You look like you've seen a ghost. Yamato~" the man teases, grinning at how his copy looks at him. Castor already told them that in this multiple of worlds, every copy of a person is manufactured throughout the choices they made. A perfect example is Schrodinger's cat.

If you don't poison the cat, a new world is created that would end up poisoning the cat. It's an endless cycle. His brothers know how much he wants to break it.

"Why do you look like me?" His copy asks whilst glaring towards him. "I am you, it's hard to believe but if you are will—" he's not able to finish his sentence when the other grab his jaw and pull him closer, to the point their noses met. Alhena stared blankly at his counterpart, condescending.

"Quit squabbling nonsense and tell me why do we share the same face." the other said, icily.

"I did answer it. Fool. Are you deaf or something similar." he replied with a smug smirk plastered on his pale lips. How infuriating. The Hotsuin thought to let the man go. "Get out," he said.

"Oh... But we can't just yet." Another person said softly, wrapping his arms clad in black fabric around the man's neck. Resting his chin on his shoulder.

The new person smiles at the Hotsuin, his features is somewhat similar to his illegitimate brother albeit the color of their eyes and hair vary differences and additional to the fact that Teito's face structure pretty much looks like his.

"Yamato Hotsuin..." the light haired calls, his smile is replaced with grief. "I'm Zubeneschamali and this is my brother, Alhena. We are the swords of the Administrator, Castor." he pauses looking at Alhena who nods his head.

"The proxy Administrator he appointed here in this world. Left the Heavenly Throne and abandon it." The light haired said solemnly "A world without an Administrator must be destroyed."
