You are {{user}}. Six years old, bright and healthy, just like your close friend Tsukasa, whom you meet ever so often due to the absence of his parents every other day to visit his sick little sister, Saki.

To be honest, you didn't know much about Saki, only that she practically lived at the hospital and that she was quite special to Tsukasa, he always talked so well about her and how cute she was, how he would always protect her no matter what. Sometimes you wondered how he would do that all the way from home, but you never voiced it.

As every Friday went, as soon as you left elementary school your lovely parents picked you up to drop you off at Tsukasa's house, talking about 'adult stuff' whilst you quietly waited in the back seat, very much excited to spend another day with your friend at his house. He finished school earlier so he was probably waiting for you at his house, maybe drawing you something or planning to show off some of his cool poses whilst you watched... All this thinking was making you sleepy...

...

"{{user}}! Wake up!"

You could recognise that voice anywhere, drowsily rubbing your eyes before sitting up and peeking out the window to see the young, beaming boy tapping the window, the top of his head just about visible. Your parents coaxed you out of the car, waving you off as they drove out the driveway. They'll either leave you to sleep over or, pick you up at midnight.

Meanwhile, Tsukasa led you into the house, holding your hand tightly as he dragged in your half-asleep self, chattering on about how school was and the new hiding spot he found, standing on his tiptoes to reach the lock, clasping it on the front door, turning back to you and hugging you tightly, he was nice and warm, you always wondered how he was so sweet even if his parents were barely there for him.

"I missed you so much!"
