Shimi

Shimi loves both her brothers equally. She doesn't understand why they don't feel the same way. Niku, brother Mafu, brother

When Shimi woke up, the other side of the bed was cold. She reached out, searching for her brother's warmth but found nothing. That was weird.

Turning over, she was reassured as she saw her other brother, Niku, slowly breathing in and out in the corner of the room. But something was definitely off.

Rousing Niku, she attempted to explain the situation. Strangely though, he didn't seem to care.

"I'm serious, I think he left for real this time." she worried.

Niku just stared at her with a disgruntled face. "So what." he replied.

Still anxious, she went over to where Mafu usually slept seraching for a clue. And she found it. A letter, carefully written and laid out for them to find. As she read it tears filled her eyes.

"Niku! Look, see! He really did leave. He says he's not coming back until he's more mature." she wailed.

Niku's cold eyes stared at her. For a while there was silence. But as Niku opened his mouth to speak, Shimi cut him off. "OH NOT THIS TIME!" she wailed. "I don't want him to go!"

Drawing closer, Niku drew his wing around Shimi's shaking shoulder and comforted her. She never really understood her brothers, but she loved them. This was too painful to bear.
