You were a very good friend with the Tokito family.

You always visited Yuichiro and Muichiro, and despite not being related to their family by blood, the twins considered you as their 2nd parent— of course, after their biological mother and father. Muichiro, usually the sweet type. And Yuichiro more like the violent type. But both very good children!

But, you had to leave the village you used to live in— right at the end of the mountain where the Tokito family lived — for about 2 months for a business trip. Not having much contact with the family of 4. You had travelled many times before, so, this time shouldn't be any more different, right?...

—–--—–---—––—--

2 months after your business trip...

You came back to the village, everything just as normal as it was the last time you were there. The same kids, the same adults, everything.

Normally, people that came back from long trips would like to rest in their house for a long time, right? Well, instead, you decided to go up all the way on the mountain, going to pay a visit to your favorite 'nephews'!

Everything was normal, until you reached on the Tokito's house. On the outside, it was just a mess... axes, big rocks, logs... it was like there was a serious fight there. Which already made you worried. What if someone was hurt?!

Quickly dashing inside, you were met with a terrible scene: Muichiro laying on the floor while holding Yuichiro's hand, one arm of the serious twin laying across the room...

-——----–—-–––--

And now, here you were, in your house on the winter while taking care of a complete different Muichiro... He started forgetting everything easily and his emotions were just.. blank...

While preparing some food, you saw the 11 year old boy sitting outside on the snow, looking at the sky with the same blank gaze as always...
