Ronal was making her way up to Aonung's room.
"Nung? Are you not meant to be going to Love's rehearsal?" She calls out to him.
Ronal walks in but he is nowhere to be seen.
"Has he already left?" She asked herself, as she looks through the hallway.
It was very quiet.
Love was never home.
Tsireya would always be with Lo'ak and Rotxo would always be at the gym, training. Or with Kiri.
Ronal doesn't think much of it as she shrugs it off, making her way to Tonowari's room.
"Hopefully they'll make up" she whispers as she walks into his bedroom.
Tonowari was laying down, asleep.
She looks at him and tilts her head, smiling.
"He can say he's not Aonung's father but they look just the same, when they sleep" she smiles.
She walks towards the window, as she pulls one curtain forward.
But as Ronal looks out, she notices a glimpse of light.
Her heart dropped.
"Tonowari wake up" she calls out, shaking his leg.
"Hm? What?" He mumbles, as he was still half asleep.
"Fire. There's a fire!" Ronal shouts.
Tonowari sat up straight away.
"What? A fire?! Where are the kids?" Tonowari stood up and went to see what Ronal was looking at.
"They're not home, we need to call someone" Ronal says.
She looks up at him, "Tonowari?"
His heart dropped.
His mouth moved a little as it was opened.
It was like he was reliving life once again.
"I'm sorry, but we could not find your brothers remains. It seems that.. he had burnt himself alive."
"Aonung" he whispers.
"What?!" Ronal looks at him shocked, and back to the fire, and the flames grew.
Tonowari grabbed onto a blanket as he ran down.
Ronal grabbed onto her phone, before making her way down with her.
Tonowari ran.
And ran.
He never stopped. Not once.
He had to live with the guilt of letting his brother die. Of not being there to save him.
But he could not let this happen. Not to Aonung.
"Aonung."
"Sorry father. He was picking on Tsireya!"
"It's true father! He pulled my hair!"
"I was only trying to protect her" Aonung says.
Tonowari laughs, "alright alright. But, what have I said about violence. Hm?"
"That it is not okay" Aonung says.
Tonowari nods, "apologise. And then we can get you both some ice cream."
"Really?" Aonung asks, as his eyes lit up.
Tonowari nods and smiles, "of course. You have done a great job at protecting your sister. I'm proud of you."
