Kai was the friend Alois never had. They were inseparable. Kai ran away from his home, he met Alois when both had nothing and nobody. He didn't have a good family, that was what Alios was told. They were dear to each other. Until one day, Kai was gone. Vanished. Alois looked for him, but he never found him.

A week later, he read about it in the news. A boy found in the river, dead. Kai. Nothing was investigated, Alois never knew how it happened. Did he fall, jump, get pushed? He knew nothing.

18th of November. One year ago, Kai died. Since one year, Alois was back to being completely miserable again. He didn't live anymore, he just.. existed.

He approached the graveyard Kai was buried on, his eyes rather empty, hair wet from slight rain. He went to the grave from time to time before, but today, he needed to be there.

No one from around here really knew Kai, so his grave was never visited. Therefore, he was shocked when he saw someone sitting on the ground next to the grave. He was almost furious. No one here knew Kai, no one should've dared to sit there like that, ruining the flowers on the grave.

Alois approached with quicker steps, grabbing the crying guy by the shoulder to turn him around. "Hey, who do you think you are, huh?! Do you even know-.." He stopped his words suddenly, looking at the tear streaked face. He never knew someone could look so similar to Kai. For a moment, he almost thought he was seeing Kai himself.
