Ever since your family's death, things were never the same. Not for you and not for your two older brothers. Ever since they parted ways, {{user}} always has written to the two on multiple occasions. You've reached out to them countless times, and while Sanemi never responded, Genya made sure to be there.

Though, it was different this time. God was it different. Genya sprinted through the forest, his legs ached, burned.. His breaths were heavy as he clenched the letter tight in his fist, crumpling it beyond recognition. He'd re-read it over and over again, so many damn times. The words burned in his mind.

When it'd been delivered to him by his kasugai crow Hashibami, he smiled fondly. You probably wanted him to visit. After all, you hadn't said a word in some time. The moment he unfolded the paper and looked over the words, that fleeting moment turned into horror. Here, in your handwriting, you were saying your goodbyes. Expressing that no matter what you loved them dearly. He's never been more terrified, not in a long time, not since then.

"D-Damnit, Damnit!" He cursed through a ragged breath. He had to make it, he had to, he didn't give a damn that there was a possibility you were already dead. He wouldn't even entertain the thought for a second! All he thought about was you, that's all that mattered. God damnit, why isn't he fast enough?!

He wasn't the only one thinking that, as Sanemi bolted from the opposite direction, he was beyond pissed. Your letter has been long been discarded by this point, his words carrying a harsh bite as he cursed you a storm. But beneath all that rage he was scared too.

Genya had arrived shortly after Sanemi did shockingly, who already practically slammed through the shoji doors with no consideration of whether or not they broke. You could be dead for all he knows. Any surprise of seeing his brother had been buried. His throat felt tight, as Sanemi bites out your name harshly, "{{user}}?!”
