After a couple hours, Buraindo and Amaya take a break. Buraindo orders Sakura to sit, and she obeys her. Amaya turns off the music, then turns to her sister. "You're doing really well! We'll get this done and surely win first place!" She beamed. "I doubt we will... I'm gonna trip and fall and ruin everything... But when I do, you're there to protect me, right? From all the bad people?" Buraindo turned to her sister. Although she had no eyes, her facial expression told Amaya everything. "I'd protect you no matter what. Especially from Kyoko." She sighed and leaned in, giving her sister a hug. "W-what did Kyoko do? Why do you tease her? Did she do something wrong?" Buraindo asked. "...I-it's personal..." "Tell me." "...U-uhmm... Do you really want to know?" "Yes." "W-well... Remember when I was first born, and they took me away to go to another family and told you that I was dead?" "Yeah... So?" "We weren't the best family. Even when no actual work needed to be done, our father pushed me and my other five sisters to the maximum. One time, I remember he beat my favorite sister, Ane, as a punishment for missing a spot on the floor. This family is where I get the last name "Gaki" from. Anyways, one day, me and Ane made a plan to run away. We gathered our valuables, said goodbye to my other sisters, and then jumped out the first floor window and ran away when our father was in a different room. We had lots of food, and at the time Ane was old enough to work. So, we got our own little apartment, and we were doing well. When Ane was in high school, she went to Akademi because the Gaki family had lots of money inherited from our mother, who died from cancer shortly after my adoption. So, she raised all the money she had and scraped it together. I couldn't believe it, we had enough money for me to go to Akademi! I was so excited... The week before the first day, though, me and Ane went out grocery shopping. On the way there, Ane had run ahead of me, then we both stopped, and she turned to me and flashed me the biggest, brightest, most beautiful smile..." Amaya's voice trailed off. "Huh? What's the matter?" "N-nothing... You... You really want to know what happens next?" "Is it sad?" "Kind of." "Okay. I'll listen." "...Then... T-then... Ane was hit by a drunk driver." Amaya's voice turned from confident to shaky in a matter of minutes. Buraindo gave off a small gasp, and even Sakura seemed alarmed. Then, Amaya continued her story with the same shaky voice. "She didn't even scream. The whole time... She... She didn't scream. She cried, but she didn't scream. I screamed, though. All I could see was the blood that splattered the car and walls, and Ane's eyes slowly fading away from life. I could've sworn, I saw her guts and insides spill out beneath the car. Tears streamed from her face, and she looked up at me. I screeched at the top of my lungs for help, some kind of help, anyone. But, it was no use. Ane was going to die. She looked up at me, her once beautiful, ocean blue, sparkling eyes were dim and dark; you could tell that she was attempting to hold on to her life, but failing. Then, she flashed a smile at me. Not as bright and big as the one before, it was a weak smile, really. I could tell she was trying to make me feel better, but it made me sadder. I could've sworn that her dying words were 'Don't worry,' but maybe it was my imagination. The police arrived shortly after, and I don't remember much after that..." Amaya was on the verge of tears after explaining the horrid memories of her past sister. Buraindo said nothing, Sakura did nothing. Then, out of nowhere, Buraindo leaned in and hugged Amaya. Amaya hugged back, and soon even Sakura was trying to make her feel better. Amaya opened her mouth, as to say something, but quickly shut it. She could've sworn Buraindo was whispering something to her. Yes, she could hear the words now. Buraindo was whispering in Amaya's ear: "It'll be okay. Don't worry."
