Shouko felt her heart pounding profusely when she flipped the cover of the album, revealing its first page. A photo instantly fell in the line of her sight. Her pupils shook as her fingers trembled. She almost let go of the page.
"This is..." Shouko paused, flustered by what she was seeing.
"Our family photo," replied Kyoya calmly.
She saw two familiar faces in the photo. Both she and Kyoya were smiling toward the camera lens. From the way they posed, it was a photo taken in a studio. A formal kind where a family gathered themselves for a photo session.
Kyoya was in a black formal suit. A dark gray striped shirt was paired with the jet black suit following his body shape. His long and strong legs were encased by a pair of slim-fit trousers. The only dissonance to his black outfit was the burgundy colored tie around his neck.
In the photo, he was standing beside a chair. Shouko saw herself sitting on the chair.
But, she wasn't alone.
