"Ara, are you ready?"
Suzuki Aki strode down the stairs of their home as he fixed his tie. It's been two days since Ara came back home from the hospital, and the house that had been quiet the past couple of months became lively again.
"Yep," Ara chirped as she popped the last piece of toast in her mouth, and drank the rest of her juice.
She was wearing a dark blue jacket and a short checked maroon skirt, with long black socks that reached her knee and black shoes – her school's uniform. Today marked the second month since her accident last November, and it'll be her first day back to school.
Aki finished fixing his clothes, and the housekeeper handed him his briefcase for work.
"Put your glasses on," he ordered, and Ara put the prescription glasses with UV coating on. Since her irises changed in color, the doctor told her brother that her eyes would be more sensitive to the sun.
