• Izo On The Top Bunk •
"No one will come for you"
That's what Kiku's brother, Izo, would said every night as Kiku lay entombed in the fears she as her brother loves to torment her. He always has. Izo has taken great pleasure in Kiku's fear and misery. That was his idea of fun.
When she was 5 years old she vividly remember ever night: At around 9 o'clock, Oden would tell Kiku it was time for bed. He made sure she were on her bunk bed. Her brother, Izo, likes spentimg a lot of time on top of the bunk bed. He would pat her on the forehead before saying goodnight, and blow out the candles off and leaving the room closing the door tight. As Kiku lay staring at the dim light of the room, taking in the various silhouettes of the furniture, she would hear the springs of the top bunk creek and give. Kiku would close her eyes and silently cry knowing her brother's cruel game was about to begin.
Every night was the same, her brother would growl at me in his malevolent croak about all the pain and misery awaiting me.
"No one will come for you."
He would begin.
"No one will save you when I take you down to the other place."
Kiku would lie there. Her body cocooned in the catatonic terror only able to silently weep and listen as her brother would describe the various tortures he had thought, like breaking all her bones one by one very slowly, so he can hear the snap of her ribs, fingers breaking, wait for them to heal then doing again and again, forever.
He would tell her that one day he would deliver his threats but for now, it was more fun to just tell me what he had in mind.
Izo loves to torment Kiku.
This was Kiku childhood up until she turned 7, she found out more about her childhood.
When Kiku was 3, she and her sibling, Izo, during their early childhood, they were raised in the dancing school Hanayanagi School but the family got torn apart after their father was arrested.
So two of them survive the streets of Ringo, by forcing to entertain depraved adults.
She was found by Oden the two were on the break of starvation, sadly Izo died of starvation, while Kiku survived. When Oden took her under his wing, he had wn extra room with a bunkbed.
Kiku can't believe how well she still remember those days. She 27 now, she has a collection of sleeping pills.
Kiku takes a whole bottle every night. She going to sleep tonight. Izo not going to keep Kiku awake tonight.
Kiku's brother, Izo, loves to torment me.
