Chapter 28 - You're Gonna Carry That Weight

Where is this place? Right the mansion. Wait, this is not the mansion I was in. Wait, it is. But it looks older. What is happening? Why is my head ringing? The noise in my head is getting louder and louder. It's so loud that I can't hear anything now. Someone please stop the sound!!

"Good morning, Kai."

The noises stop. Aiko? It is her. Why is she younger? Wait I remember this place now. This is my real home. Aiko is my sister here.

"Kai? Are you ok?", Aiko asks.

"Uh, yeah Aiko.", my voice. I look at my hand and find out I'm younger too.

"Aiko? Who is that?"

Ow, right she is supposed to be Koyuki at this time.

"No one, good morning sis.", I try to smile.

"You can smile? I didn't know that."

"What do you mean?", I ask.

"You are not supposed to smile you murderer!",

Aiko's face suddenly starts burning. It's not only her face, the whole room is on fire. There's two burnt bodies in the room. Aiko walks towards them while her whole body burns and becomes skinny. The sun suddenly it's night time. Aiko's burnt body sits by them

"You murderer!!"

"No!!", I say.

"You traitor!!"

"I did it for a reason!!!"

"You deserve to rott in hell!!"

"Nooo!!", I shut my eyes.

When I open my eyes I'm outside the house. There's fire service trucks outside the house. I'm covered in a blanket. There's light and smoke coming out of dad and mom's room on the forth floor.

"Hey, kid? You are ok, right?", a man in red dress asks. Probably a fire fighter.

"Yes."

"Was there five members in your family?"

"I think so. I say slowly."

"Well, I don't know if I should say this two you now but we found 3 bodies in the..."

"There's a girl in the basement!!" One of them screams.

"Well go and bring her out quickly!!", The man screams. Looking at me, "As I was saying, we found your parents' and your elder sister's body in a room. I'm sorry they are not alive."

"She is uninjured, sir! Looks like someone gave her a blanket and soaked it in water."

"I'm glad.", I smile.

The man looks at me with suspecting eyes.

The other guy brings Tachibana to me.

"Do you know her?", he asks.

Tachibana is looking sad. Her eyes are looking down.

"No, I don't.", I reply.

Tachibana looks at me with eyes full of questions. Maybe she wanted to ask why did I lit the fire? Why did I kill them? And why am I lying now?

I only look at her and try to smile. Words can't really explain what happened.

I look at the house for some reason. It looks familiar. The fourth balcony on the third floor!! Why is this here?! Is this the same mansion that we live in now?! But it looks different than before. Then again I'll never Mistake that balcony. What is happening?! I close my eyes

"You're gonna carry that weight.", the sentence echos in my head. It's annoying me so much!!

"Stop!!" I scream.

"Stop it!! There's no weight on my shoulder!!", I keep screaming to the voice to stop yet it doesn't stop. My voice is fading. At one point there's nothing coming out of my mouth rather than air.

I try to say, "Fine, I shouldn't have killed them.", Yet no sound comes out of my mouth. The voice keeps saying the line in my head as darkness takes over the entire place.

I open my eyes. I feel my body sweating. It's Aiko's lap. She is looking at me.

"It was all just a dream.", She tries to calm me down.

"Just a dream.", I calm down and smile.
