Feb 28, 2011 00:24

[It was a usual Monday morning. Or at least, that was what Minami expected when she went to wake up her brother nice and early. However, when she found the door oddly unlocked after her futile attempts at knocking...

Empty. The room was devoid of any person, save for the stunned redhead. Maybe he went out without her knowing? It happened sometimes ( Read more... )

M-Minami? Are you- [No, don't ask if she's all right. That's a pretty stupid question to ask someone who's crying like that. He never got her last name, so he can't piece the connection together, but it's also pretty obvious that she's crying because this Minato is gone.]

[...his mind's blanking on what else to say. He can't just say nothing, though. Stupid question it is.] Are you all right?

[Oh, so she left it on... Minami picked up the Dreamberry, trying to choke back her tears as she forces a smile. Though that was futile effort.]

I-I'll be fine, Lloyd... I... It's not the first time I lost my brother...

[Though reminding herself of the first time she did just made her cry more. Even if she claimed otherwise to the people who knew Minato, she hadn't quite gotten over his death back in her world.]

Oh. [No wonder she was crying. Her brother...] I'm sorry. I didn't realize that was your brother.

[She shakes her head, finally managing to calm down a bit. Crying won't bring him back. She learned that a long, long time ago.]

Don't apologize... It's not your fault. It just hits a little harder because I haven't seen him in ten years, you know...?

[It doesn't matter how many times Rise has to deal with it, losing someone will always hurt. She may have grown used to relationships being so fragile in the dream world but she cannot even begin to fathom how bad it must feel to lose a sibling, especially considering how close Minami and Minato had always seemed.]

Oh gosh, Minami-chan... I'm so sorry.

[Minami made a startled noise as she realized she left the Dreamberry on. Though she didn't make an effort to pick it up from the floor, she looked down at the screen, trying desperately to wipe away her tears.]

No, you shouldn't apologize, Rise... I'm... such an idiot for believing that I'd never lose him again... I'm such an idiot for crying like this too... I... I...!

[Whatever she was about to say crumbled into more tears. All the things she's been through and all the feelings that she tried so hard to hide to keep her brother from worrying... Nothing could keep her emotions in check anymore. Some leader she was...]

Again?

[Rise didn't know the situation between Minami and Minato but she was sure that Minato hadn't left during her stay in Somarium thus far. But there was no doubt in her mind that losing someone a second time would be heart wrenching.]

It's not stupid that you're crying for him. Don't even think that.

[Minami sniffles.]

Thanks, Rise...

[She pauses, before she asks:]

Um... I don't know any other people I could talk to about this, and I don't want to bother Sanada-senpai, so... Is it all right if we could talk in person?

Ah... hey. Are you all right?

[No one likes to see a girl cry, after all. There's concern in his voice, even if he doesn't know this person.

It's too bad to lose a friend and it's tough to miss them, no matter who it is, right.]

I'm sorry about your friend... but I'm sure he didn't mean to leave you on your own.

He... He wasn't just a friend...

[Minami managed to say in between strained sobs.]

He was... my twin brother... I hadn't seen him for ten years... I guess it just hits a little harder than the other people I've lost...

[Sniffle. She tries to force a smile.]

Th-Thanks, though... Even though I'm a total stranger, you went out of your way to see if I was all right.

Your-- twin? Woah! I'm really sorry to hear that, then. That's rough.

But hey, ah... I'm sure you'll see him again, right! Haha, since you guys have that kinna bond together.

[He offers a reassuring smile, in return.]

[He's kind of dead in her world and her soul is denied from the afterlife because it's an eternal door decoration. :( Still, she appreciates the encouragement, so she nods.]

Yeah... I guess we'll eventually meet again, though I don't know when that'll be. Thanks, um...

[Who are you again?]

[... So Minato's gone.

In some ways, he was expecting this, really. Almost all of his other friends have disappeared, so it's... just a sort of countdown, even if this one hurts more than the others. He's gotten far too used to this.

Still, he can remember how he felt when Anemone first left.]

I know it won't bring him back, but... I'm sorry.

[She shook her head, still sobbing, though with less intensity as before.]

No, Dominic... You shouldn't apologize. I'm... really stupid for crying over something I knew could happen at any time... I... I shouldn't have just assumed that...

[... since they were both dead and had no where else to go, they wouldn't disappear from this world. That was naive of her. Still, she had mustered enough self-control to not finish that sentence.

Minami sniffled, rubbing the tears away from her eyes with her sleeve.]

Hey... Where are you right now?

[He blinks, surprised at the question.]

In the city, but I'm heading back to Dusk. Why?

[Finally calming down a bit, she glances towards something off-screen, a weak smile on her face.]

Could you meet me at Minato's room when you get back? He left a few things behind, and I think it's best if you hold onto one of them.
