Static. His eyes pressed forward. He made no sound. His flesh already growing cold and stale. The forever present smile plastered eternally below his forever unblinking eyes. His pale flesh seered by the wires being driven into the soft satin of his neck. Blood. The only color seen by any eyes.

My eyes.

My hands pull the wires; the wires that take his life. My life. The wires around my wrist, digging into the naked flesh. Crimson falling gently from slivers of flesh. My face wet from that lustful love that brought us to this.

There is pain, but it doesn't bother me. The pain of the flesh seems petty to the pain of the heart. My ear near your heart. Your chest turning cold. I felt that last heartbeat before the cold overwhelmed you.

My brother, I'm sorry it came to this, but mother would have cried and father would have raged. Our souls will reunite soon enough. I know they will. I knew they would.

"There, there... aniki..." I whisper to his scarlet, immobile form."Your Yuuchan will be there soon with you... forever..."

I felt the air around me tremble, red tears falling gently. I'm sure our sister will understand. She probably already knows...

...and the darkness soon embraces me in its gentle, calming silence, so different from the chaotic sounds from before...
