As far as I could
remember, it was mother leaving us, followed by the separation between me and
my brother. We don't know who we are and what our identity is. All that’s in
our memories were mother’s last words: “survive till you’re 16”. Every moment,
we were chased by powerful strangers and all we could do is run and hide. We
were powerless.
One day, we came across a
mysterious forest.
“Arekkusu, should we
enter?”
“Ye. It’s our last chance
to get away from them. Let’s go Arisu.”
Before I could hold
brother’s hand, he was captured by a scary masked man.
“Run Arisu, run!! I can’t
talk to you through telepathy any longer, I promise you I will stay alive and
become stronger. Let’s meet her 10 years later my dear sister. You must live, for
yourself, for me and for mother. Go in!! He won’t be able to enter the forest!”
“Brother… but why? I don’t
want to leave you… NII SAN!! Don’t leave me!!”
“Arisu, listen to me. Let’s
meet here 10 years later. This mask, keep it with you okay?” *throws a kitsune
mask at me*

Looking
over at Arekkusu, who is struggling, I nodded my head and picked up the mask. Tears
rolls down my cheeks as I slowly walk into the forest. Gradually, I lost sight
of Arekkusu.
“See you 10 years later,
nii-san”
