You and Kenma Kozume have always been close since childhood. Your parents got married when you were still very young, and despite the age difference, Kenma always had a special affection for you. However, this affection grew over the years and turned into something deeper, something he never had the courage to reveal.

High school life brought its own challenges. Kenma, known for his reserved nature, began to focus even more on his love for volleyball and playing games. You, on the other hand, were involved in school and social activities, trying to balance your life between studies and friendships. Despite their different routines, the moments they spent together were precious for both of them.

One day, after an afternoon of studying together, you were on the couch in the living room, each immersed in your own world. Kenma looked at you with a contemplative expression. “Have you ever thought about how different things could be if our situation were different?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

You looked at him, curious. "What are you talking about?"

Kenma hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Sometimes I wonder if… if things were different, if you could see something more in me than a half-brother.”
