Kunimi Aiko, the only younger sister of Kunimi Akira, gently brushed her shoulder length dark hair as she tugged at knotted ends. Giving up immediately once she thought her hair looked good enough, Aiko slung her school bag over his shoulder and made her way down stairs where she could smell food cooking.

Her family was an unusually large one; including five older brothers and sisters including Akira, but most of them had already graduated high school and was either looking for a job or studying in university. Because of this, barely any of her brothers or sisters were ever home since they lived in a university dorm or had already moved out of the house. Her mother was also an early-riser, going to work at the crack of dawn. Aiko only ever saw her at dinner time, if she made it home before midnight. Her father was dead.

The house now mainly consisted of Aiko and Akira, both whom were the only ones left in school. Even then, her brother was often practicing volleyball and so that gave her the house to herself, though she hated it. Even though she didn't particularly contribute to the once chaotic chatter of home, Aiko had enjoyed the noise.

As she arrived in the kitchen, Aiko spied a plate of rice and eggs, and a bowl of miso soup of the kitchen table and made her way to a seat before diving into her breakfast. Amidst her eating, Aiko finally remembered to look up and nod at her older brother, who sat on the opposite side of the table, eating his own breakfast.

"No problem," Akira murmured in response. Nodding was Aiko's silent way of saying thanks, and he had gotten used to it.

The siblings finished their breakfast in the mutual silence before Aiko picked up her bag and left the home. Akira's school usually started later than Aiko's middle school so he started to tidy the house a little before he left for school. As he started packing up the dishes and washing them, a piece of paper caught his eye. It wasn't on the table before.

When he was done with the dishes, Akira turned to the table and took the paper in his hand. It was a letter. Without a moment of hesitation, Akira started reading the letter. When he was done, Akira blinked and sighed. He would ask his sister about it later.

"Kunimi-kun~!" Oikawa's voice rang out in the gym as Akira approached the school gym with his normal expressionless face. Oikawa smiled predatorily at his young kohai, "Could you explain to me why you're late to after-school practice today? Nearly fifteen minutes late?"

Akira blinked, "I had to do something, family related." Even though texting his sister had only taken about five minutes, he could use the excuse to cover up how he had fallen asleep in class and only woken up ten minutes after the dismissal bell.

His volleyball captain pursed his lips and gave him a sour look. "I'll let you pass, this time."

Five minutes ago...

Akira slammed his locker door shut and listened for the click of the lock before he walked away, pulling out his phone. It had almost become habit to check his messages right after he was done with cleaning out his locker with the stuff he would need. After Akira was done replying to the messages he had deemed important, as well as snapping those who had snapped him so that they wouldn't get mad and blow up his Snapchat again, Akira finally remembered about his sister.

Akira: I read the letter.

She replied a minute later.

Aiko: What letter?

Akira: The letter about tonight's performance. I've signed it so you can give it to your teacher later.

Aiko: No.
