Acting Out in the Name of Love

by SilkHandkerchief

What if they were not mere roles? What if they were people? How did those two sibcons come to be? How did innocence become so dangerous? This is my take on their origins.

3. 「Setsuka」 Fracturing

Chapter 03s: Fracturing

Things were fine the way they were.

Nii-san wanted me to believe that.

Mom wanted me to believe that.

And dad... I guess he did, too.

.

But I do not understand.

What happened?

Why is everything broken?

.

My mother went to visit Saint Peter?

Nii-san left us?

Dad got hurt and is sleeping really deeply?

.

I don't understand.

Why am I alone?

Why is mom's casket lowering.. and why am I the only one here?

.

Where is Nii-san?

Why is he not here?

.

I want to feel his hand on my shoulder.

.

His hands wrapped around my waist in caring fashion.

The chance to bury my face in his chest.

To cry my tears out, and not have strangers see.

.

Is that too much to ask for?

.

"Where are you, Nii-san?"

.
