Yuta contemplates the meaning of peace solemnly.
Ever since he regained consciousness, there hasn't been a moment of solitude. Nobody would leave him alone. If it's not his mother with him, it would be his father. Then, his sister would visit and cry her eyes out whenever she sees him.
"I am not dead." Yuta glares at Aerie. "Why are you crying, for god's sake?"
"Brother can't walk anymore." Aerie's big brown eyes become watery. "I feel sad."
It's hard to believe that this child is Valerie Kang. Yuta studies her face. The eyes are the same. The colour of her hair, nose, and lips are also the same. This girl is Valerie Kang.
He sighs. "Don't cry. I am going to be fine."
"But you can't walk." Aerie grabs the end of the blanket. "Then, what will happen to Honoka?"
How is this connected? Yuta frowns at her. "If I can't walk, what does it have to do with her?"
