[Suni's POV]

I folded the map immediately when someone suddenly entered- more like barged- into my room. Again? What is it this time?

"I hope you have a proper reason for disrespecting my privacy, Ikejiri." I said as I cross my arms.

"Suni, today is Silver's homecoming! Don't tell me you're just going to lock yourself out today!" She said.

"Then I'm not going to tell you." I said.

"Suni, you lost the match! You're the one who is assigned to fetch her today! Don't tell me you've forgotten!" She said. The match, huh?

FLASHBACK

I stood up and jumped in the sky, avoiding her outrageous kick. No matter how many times I try to attack her on her blind spot, she finds a way to dodge and counterattack.

She's already used to my reflexes. More than that, her quirk isn't making my life easier. Why is she so determined to win this match?

"You're not going to escape that easily, Suni." My eyes widen as soon as I felt her presence behind me.

W-What on earth?! B-But I just jumped! She recovered that fast after hitting the wall?!

Before I can even react, she already locked my reflexes in a single move using her quirk.

I tried to free myself but she was too strong. Tsk.

"I win." She said. I sighed and put my hands up, knowing that I lost the match.

"Now, what do you want me to do, Ikejiri?" I asked, wanting to get this thing over with.

"Easy. Become Silver's escort when she comes back from America." She said.

When she comes back, huh? "That is... if she ever comes back." I murmured.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Look, I know you're not the nicest person around-" I glared at her when she said that. "-but a loss is a loss." She said.

I sighed and stood up. I won't be able to win against her in an argument, anyway.

"I didn't say I'm not going to do it. You talk too much." I said slid the folded map on a book in my desk.

"You have to do as you promise too. Do not touch my stuffs unless I told you so." I said.

She smiled and nod. "I know I could count on you." She said. I just ignored her and swiftly put on my hood. I immediately went out of the house with the sole intention of finishing the stupid promise I made two years ago.

[Silver's POV]

"Are you sure you can do this, Silver?" Kalissa asked me. I smiled and nod. If I keep running away from what I did, I won't get anywhere at all.

"You know me, Kalissa. I can handle this." I said while smiling. I just have to take the chances in order to fulfill what I have to do.

"Well, good luck. Just remember that you always have a friend here in America." She said. I grinned and hugged her.

"Thanks, Kalissa." I said.

Today is the day for me to return to my neighborhood and for me to face my siblings once again. Honestly, it's very nerve-racking... but I've already rehearsed a lot so I think I'll be fine.

I went out of the train and look around to see the scenery of city where I once lived... and will live. Hm. This place hasn't changed even one bit. Now, where was I suppose to go, again? I look at my phone to find the address where Suni and Ikejiri are currently living. When I finally got it, I began to walk on the street.

"Nice to see you enjoying the view." I look at the one who spoke and saw a girl with glasses, her onyx hair brushing on her shoulders and her dark black eyes staring intently at me.

"Yeah. I'm enjoying it, Suni." I answered her. After speaking, tension began to fill the air that it was so hard to breathe. I expected that something like this will happen but actually experiencing it is a bit unbearable.

"Good 'cause you have a lot of explaining to do, Silver." She said. Ugh, she's not going to make me any comfortable, isn't she?

"I don't think I need to explain myself further." I said. She crossed her arms before raising her right brow.

"Oh really?" She asked.

"You already know everything you need to know." I said.

She shrugged before turning her back from me.

"Who said you're explaining to me?" She asked. Huh?

"I already told Ikejiri what she have to know, Suni. I don't think I need to explain myself... unless you told her the real reason why I went there." I said, accusingly.

"I didn't and I don't need to." She answered. Huh?

"What do you mean by that?" I asked her, but she just walked away as soon as I asked my question.

What the-

"Hey! Don't ignore me!" I shouted and followed her. She didn't made the journey home very easy for me. She was too fast that I had to carry my baggage just to catch up with her.

All of a sudden, she suddenly stopped walking, to my relief, and glanced at a simple house infront of us.

"Why did you stopped? I don't think that your home's anywhere near this subdivision." I said.

As expected, she ignored and continued on her steps. I followed her again until we reached the destination.

She opened the gate and went inside without me. She's really giving me a cold treatment, huh?

I silently followed her from behind and was greeted by the smell of a delicacy that I had almost forgotten. What-

"Ikejiri, she's here." Suni said, interrupting me on my thoughts. Then, I heard fast footsteps running downstairs. Huh?

"Welcome back, Silver!" I look at the one who shouted and saw a girl smiling brightly at me. Her brown hair is tied in a messy bun and is wearing her turtle-necked sleeveless shirt and baggy black pants.

I would've smiled back at her if not for her clothes. The clothes she was wearing brings back a lot of bad memories that it's hard to fake a smile.

Why is she wearing mom's clothes-the one that she wore the day before she died? Dang.

"How's America?" She asked cheerfully.

"G-Good..." I answered.

"Is that so? I bet you made a lot of friends! Anyway, I'm making your favorite so sit back and relax until I'm done! We have a lot to talk about~!" She said and ran off.

That aura Ikejiri emmited just now is sickeningly familiar.

"Why did you let her wear those clothes?" I asked Suni, who was staring at me-as if trying to read what I have in mind.

"She insisted. It makes her feel that mom is still alive. More than that, it helped her in controlling her annoying quirk." She said. What?

Before I can even ask what she means, Ikejiri returned in the room, carrying a lot of pancakes on her plate.

"Here ya go! Eat up, sis!" She said. Sis... huh?

I faked a smile and went to the table.

"What is it? You don't like it?" She asked worriedly. H-Huh?

"O-Of course I like pancakes. I-It's my favorite!" I said.

"T-Then... why are you... lying?" She asked, surprising me. S-She saw through me?

"You lied back when we were kids, too... going to America to train and all that to become a hero. I don't know your reason but the fact that you lied to me doesn't change." She said and look down on the floor.

... "Since when did you know?" I asked her, my face turning serious. There's no use hiding to her my true intent. Lying won't get me anywhere.

"I was able to manifest it at a late age. I got mom's quirk-Reality." She said.

No way! Reality is a quirk where the user can be able to distinguish lies from truths. It may look unimportant but it was the most vital part of mom's quirk.

Because of Reality, mom can use another part of her quirk, Truth, wherein the target can only tell the truth to her. Reality, Truth, Protect, and Heal are the subquirks of mom's overall quirk, Divine.

"So, you know that I was lying from the very start." I said and bit my lip. I can't believe it! I made myself look like a fool infront of my sister. No, my sister made me look like a fool!

[Ikejiri's POV]

I look at Silver's room, worriedly. I wonder what happened to her.

I heard the door swung open so I ran down the stairs to see who it was. As expected, it was no other than Suni.

"Where have you been? Silver's already fast-" I stopped talking when I noticed the scratches on her body. More than that, she was bleeding from head to toe. Again?

"Sit down." I said and ran to the kitchen to get some supplies. I returned to the living room and fixed her up.

"What happened this time?" I asked her.

"Work." She murmured. There she goes again, using half-truths in counteracting my quirk.

"It isn't just that, isn't it?" I asked her. She sighed and then stood up.

"Who knows." She murmured and then began to walk to the stairs.

"Suni, can you just push your argument aside for once and become a family? Atleast this once?" I asked her. She look at me then smiled sadly, a very rare smile that broke my heart.

Suni...

"Can't you see? This family is broken, Ikejiri. The only thing I can do is to protect it. Fixing it is out of my hands. " She said. I closed my eyes and then bit my lip.

"But you're the only one who can do it." I said silently.

Suni, you're the only one who didn't gave up when we were kids. You were the one who took all the damages and kept us on believing.

"Please don't give up now. Not now that she've returned."
