Len's POV

Rin doesn't resist. She's in shock. She stands, staring at Mayu with wide eyes and an open mouth as she proceeds to tie up her hands. I, on the other hand, feel but nothing but fury towards the girl I called my sister.

I jump at Mayu, ready to do what was necessary to save Rin. But someone grabs me from behind. I struggle as my arms are pulled behind me and tied. A blow to my head, and everything is black.

Rin's POV

I wake up in a small, dirty cell. I don't remember anything. I don't move for a long time, I just lie on the floor. I don't want to move. I don't want to exist.

Peices of what happened come back to me. Len came home with Mayu, and she... tied me up. And told me I'm going to be executed. I lift one of my arms up and put it over my eyes. I don't want to think about that, so I think about Len.

Len. Sweet, caring Len. But where is he? I sit up abruptly and stare at the wall with wide eyes. Where is Len? What is Len doing? Is he okay? I look out of the cell door and pray that he's alright. I call his name softly, hoping he'll come to the door and save me again.
Len isn't the one that comes to the door. Mayu is.

She stares at me with a small smile on her face. "Good afternoon, Rin."

"What did you do?!" I scream, jumping up and lunging at her. Something stops me, and I see that my ankles are chained to the wall.

"I turned you in." She looks down the hallway, then back. "You look disgusting."

I scoff. "Where is Len?"

"No doubt about that. He's getting a talk from my father. He's being charged with treason, you know. Dad's deciding what to do with him." She's looking at her nails. "I broke a nail tying you up."

I can't decide if I'm terrified or angry. She smiles sweetly at my reaction. I can feel tears form in my eyes. "Mayu, what kind of… what happened to being family?"

"That's a good question."

"I want to see Len." She laughs. "That's funny, Rin!"

"Mayu, please."

She looks at me, but she doesn't look sympathetic when she says. "Oh, alright. I'll see what I can do."

She motions for me to come forward suddenly, but then she yells, "Oh!" and laughs cruelly. "Rin, I'm going to let you in on a little secret, alright?"

I stare at her angrily. I don't want to hear it, but I say nothing. She waits and we both stare at each other. Her face is happy, and mine isn't. I reluctantly ask, "What is it?"

"You're both going to be dead by the end of the week." She smiles and turns to leave. "Wait!" I call. "I already knew that. But 'both'? Who is 'both'?"

She waits for me to figure it out. She has an excited look on her face. Didn't Mayu say Len is being accused for treason. Isn't that punishable by death?

"Len is going to be executed, too?"
