Hirose was 17 years old, he was a top achieving student, making him apart of King Octavio's army.

He was assigned to be in the Elite, which was the highest ranked unit. He felt huge joy being apart of something extremely prestigious and important.

But NOTHING was more important than his little sister Maru.

Unlike her brother, she was slow and very bad with her duties, often making her a bit outcasted, she was considered to be a Class 1 Rival.

Hirose didn't want Maru to feel worthless so every single day he took care of her, he bathed her, fed her, and had to raise her because they didn't have any parents.

But one day..they both saw DJ Octavio fighting against an inkling by the name of Agent 3, they were fighting when..a song, a song so special that touched them.

The Calamari Inkantation.

It touched their hearts and just like that they both realized.

They can't stay in this place forever.

So without warning. They left the domes.

They both resided and tried to walk to where they can find Inkopolis.

But Agent 3 attacked them, Hirose being elited fought back but..

The 3 of them were attacked by something and it lead Hirose and Maru falling into a deep metro station.

Where they both lost their memories but..not about their sibling love.

"Maru...! Maru! Baby sister...! Oh baby please wake up...!" Hirose shook Maru in his arms gently worried about her.
