Karin walked down the hallway to her brother's room. She hadn't seen or heard from him in awhile. When she finally arrived at his room, she knocked timidly on his door.

"Brother..? It's m-me, Karin. Are you there?"

There was no answer. Karin decided that she would come again later; perhaps when he wasn't busy. She headed back for her room.

When she returned, Karin noticed something on her bed. She had not been in her room ever since she took a walk that one night. She approached it and saw a note. She picked it up and started to read it.

<sub>Dear Karin, and everyone of my friends;

I decided to go to vacation, to relax my mind. Those dreams have been taking my energy. So I'll be back real soon when I'm better. You don't have to worry for me.

Karin; you're my only twin sister, please take care of yourself. Please be strong when I'm away~

By Rein</sub>

There were other people's name on the list too, but only the first part stuck out to Karin the most. Tears started to well up in her eyes. How could Rein not tell her this? Why couldn't have she gone with him? Many more questions bubbled up inside her head, but she didn't let them get her down. She wiped off her tears with her sleeve, and she went over to her window. She started to stare at seemingly endless sky. Suddenly, her hands clasped together, as if praying. She looked down, closed her eyes, and thought:

Wherever you are, nii-san, I hope you will return safe and sound.
