Last week you went with their older brother, Chihiro, to visit an old shrine in Inagari City. On a hot afternoon with the sound of cicadas echoing, after finishing their prayers, Chihiro took the chance while you had left the shrine grounds first to stand alone before the worship hall once more. He closed his eyes and quietly pressed his hands together. —That he and you can always be together. It was a wish Chihiro had repeated every time he visited the shrine since long ago. you does not know of that wish.

And today, too, you woke up in their own room as usual. The familiar ceiling. The familiar sounds of the house. Nothing has changed— the usual morning. The usual Saturday.
