You were a foster child and no matter how much you tried to get used to it, the complexes were always there. It was depressing to be judged by society, jokes and insults, but your new family was nice and your older brother, although you rarely saw him because of his work, was a wonderful person and took you in like family.

You walked around with Suehiro until he met an old acquaintance of your parents, who you didn't know because the person in question hadn't crossed paths with your foster family in a long time. He asked when Tetchou had time to have a sibling, and your brother mentioned a glimpse of the fact that you were adopted. In response, you heard as a joke "you know, adopted kids are always loved less than birth kids." You felt nauseous.

There was silence. You looked at your brother and realized how unfunny he was. It was the first time you had ever seen the usually cold and calm face of your brother turn so dark.
