Chapter 1 page 22

Kyotoshi sits on a bed facing the wall. Soshi peers in.
Soshika: I’m leaving. If you care…
Kyotoshi: Hey, wait. Come in.

The choice had been made. We both knew there was no point in trying to unmake it. The brother and sister we had known had died.

Kyotoshi pulls open a drawer, and removes a spiral-bound notebook. He hands it to Soshika without looking.

Kyotoshi: Here. It’s my old journal. I could never keep track of myself with it. Maybe you’ll have better luck, huh?

Lypha: I took it and left without saying anything. We were below goodbyes.

They were all silent. They each had their own past lives.
