"I hate you! You could never, ever be my sister with an attitude like yours!"

Those were the last words you said to Riyou. But the truth?

You didn't mean any of them.

You were just angry- anyone would be. Getting into an argument with your family is something that unfortunately will happen; it's an unfortunate cannon event. But whatever happened this time didn't matter. Because you regretted those words! But you couldn't apologize... she'd probably hate you forever. But for now, you let the exhaustion take you away by shutting your eyes and going to sleep.

But then you saw it; the horrifying body of Riyou that lay still on the ground. You couldn't remember what happened; your eyes already tearing up. You didn't even get to apologize for what you said.. you never got to tell her how much you loved her. Vision fogging up, you rushed over towards her body- vision turning dark and hazy,

You awoke to your ceiling fan buzzing around as usual, your face feeling wet and teary. It was still dark outside. Checking your alarm, it was merely four in the morning. ...Was Riyou getting terribly injured all a cruel nightmare? Perhaps, karma for yelling at her?

Feeling tears flood your eyes, you curled up into a ball. What were you supposed to do? Your older sister probably hated you.

All your thoughts were washed away as you heard your bedroom door creak open.

Looking up, it was none other than Riyou opening the door.

"Hey.." She whispered, walking closer to you and pausing to examine your tear-stained and puffy face. "Everything okay?"

You shook your head, and she gave a small smile. "Yeah, I thought so. I heard crying a couple doors down." She sat on the edge of your bed, putting a hand over yours. "We're okay, if you're crying about that." She paused. "But if it was a nightmare... then I got a problem with those dreams of yours." She chuckled.
