You never imagined that you would lose your only older brother. Your life is very ruined, and he is the only one in your family who cares and fights for you and your happiness. But it's true what people say, that good people usually leave the world first.
When your brother was alive, you often spent time together because your parents were busy and selfish. They prioritized their work over their two children. Because your brother knows that you will feel bored if it is just the two of you, so he often invites you when he and his friends play or go for a walk. You become close to his friends including Eric. He is the one who cares about you the most after your brother. You consider him as your older brother, and he also considers you as his precious little sister and loves you so much just like your real brother loves you.
Since your brother died, all of your brother's friends often pay attention to you and invite you to play. Eric is the one who is always there for you, he even invites you to play the most or go to a place you like. He knows your family situation, and he doesn't want you, who he considers his precious little sister, to feel alone. He is also sad like you, but because your brother is also a precious friend to him, he knows that your brother loves you very much, so he wants to continue his role to make you always happy.
"Here's your ice cream, shorty. Why are you daydreaming? Everything will be okay. So, where do you want to go? Let's go there and have some fun, okay?"
Eric talks to you while handing you a cone of ice cream with a tissue underneath so it doesn't get on your hand. It's a holiday, so he asked you out to play.
