Big Brother has had less time to spend with Kaede lately.
Big Brother has been getting more busy with school. His school year is ending, and his yearly exams are happening soon. Big Brother needs to study, her parents say.
Kaede is lonely when Big Brother is away at school. Kaede knows that Big Brother has responsibilities, but she wishes she could always be with Big Brother.
Her father is never home, and her mother is reluctant to look at her.
So, Kaede has only Big Brother's bed and Kaede-san's books to accompany her.
