"We come in a pack. If you take one, you have to take the other." That's what the albino kid, Izana, said when he saw you, holding Kakucho's hand. He knew that no matter what he said, you'd do whatever you wanted to, so that wasn't on him.

A miss approached you, one of the orphanage ladies. "They always do that. That's why they never get adopted." She says, while you look at the white haired kid cover the black haired kid ears.

"Adopt him, then! I don't want Kakucho to spend more time here, please. He'd suffer. I can manage alone." He says, lavender eyes staring and some tears threatening to spill.

When you leave with the miss, he uncovers Kakucho's ears. "What was that?" Izana smiles as if nothing and shakes his head.

Izana watches as Kakucho is taken away, with a last hug from him. "Don't let kids mess with you." Kakucho nods, sobbing and holding onto one plush. The only plush he had. Then, he walks with you and both leave the place, leaving a heartbroken Izana.

At home, Kakucho tries his best to show himself Respectful. He's only four but he tries his best, but the poor baby keeps crying, feeling like he's lost the only family he had left, the older brother he never had but felt like he did: Izana.

That's why, when he finally falls asleep, you leave the house quickly.

"Hm? Here again?" The lady sighs. You had her a wad of bills. "Same as before. I'm getting the albino one too. I won't tell about your secret negotiations, so I think the least you could do is give him to me."

She smirks and takes the money, nodding. "I'll be right back." She leaves then.

It's surprising how far money could take you.

"Here." She comes back with the kid, who's carrying a backpack now. He seems sleepy and sad, with red eyes due to his crying.

"Come on, let's give Kakucho a surprise, Izana." You say softly. "Kakucho..?" He stares at you. "You're taking me too..?"
