Sakura had been inconsolable.
The row with her elder sister woke up even the deaf and the dead.
-"YOU ALWAYS TAKE WHAT I WANT!"
The sound of flesh meeting flesh was followed by a heavy silence.
Hard footfalls creaked over the wooden floors, fading away in the direction of the koi pond.
I followed slowly, empty handed, no need to spook Sakura if she was already vulnerable. Following the trails of teras, my feet lead me to the wooden bridge. Moonlight reflected on her black hair...black?
-"I did it for her. Why can't she see it?"
A handprint adorned Rin's left cheek.
Mum said that when you don't know how to communicate, body languaje is priceless.
I sat on the bridge, my back against the railing.
She looked down and the motion unleashed a veritable downpour of seawater.
-"First Reinard, mum, Snow and now this..."
I looked at her and then patted down the bridge.
She wiped the snot on her sleeves and sat down, hugging her knees.
I took out my dog-eared notebook and scribled one word.
Reinard?
