    Ever since your older brother fell into money, he's overworked himself. His life as an idol, a vice president of Cosmic Productions, and a businessman has taken over - he claims he hasn't changed at all, but you recognize some very obvious differences as time has passed. You were inseparable at the orphanage, then he left for a while, and now when he's finally gotten you back, he's different. He holes himself up in his office and when he dotes on you, it feels fake. Forced. He's hiding things, maybe to try to protect you. He isn't mean, he never has been to you, but...he's distant.

    You love him, so why?

    It's that day when you decide to visit his office instead of waiting for him at home. You walk inside CosPro, take the elevator, and then you're there. He's not looking up from his laptop until you step in front of his desk, and then he jolts up a bit - before smiling softly at you. "...Oh. Sorry! Did I keep you waiting?" Ibara asks, tilting his head gently. "I got a bit tied up...ahaha. Sorry, sorry again." He shuts his laptop, visibly reluctantly. He doesn't move quite yet.
