In the moving train, her glossy black hair, which was arranged at her shoulders like the wet feathers of a raven, was swaying slightly up and down.
The place was noisy with vibration, but her dark eyes were fixed straight on me and did not let go.
“Yeah. I’m fine, at least for the time being.:
“I see. I’m glad to hear that. I’ve been worried about you ever since you moved away.”
As if being drawn to me, I too only looked at Amane.
Her voice, her tone, and her middle school accent all seem to be the same. The bright and firm childhood friend was still there, just as she had been. That made me a little happy. Even though I knew it was selfish of me.
“I’m getting by for the time being. I’m not used to it, but it’s still better than back then—“
“Onii san.”
I was beginning to feel as if there was only me and Amane in the world, but that world quickly closed.
Or rather, I guess I should say I was pulled up.
I looked down and saw a hand, much whiter than mine, holding my right hand. No, correction. In this case, it would be more correct to say that it was clutching my hand. My right hand hurts a lot.
I looked up to pay attention to the pain, but I couldn’t meet Alice’s gaze.
My sister was lying face down, her blue eyes hidden by her bangs. I quickly called out to her, who was looking so different from before, even gloomy.
“What’s wrong, Alice?”
“Onii san. I suddenly started to feel sick. Let’s get off at the next station.”
Alice started to speak all at once.
She said she felt sick, but there was nothing weak in her tone of voice. In fact, there was even a hint of strength in her tone.
“Is that so? Then…..”
However, there is no brother who doesn’t worry when his sister says something like that.
As I was told, I tried to get off at the next station with Alice, but,
“Ah, there’s your sister.”
The voice intervened between us.
The voice was somewhat cold, and for a moment I couldn’t tell who it was.
“Are you okay? Or rather, you shouldn’t be fine. You’ve been glaring at me for a while now.”
“…I’m not fine. Just now. It’s gotten worse. It’s really, really bad.”
“I see. So you’re the same as me. No, I guess it’s a little different. In my case, I felt really sick from the beginning. Ever since I saw you next to Hidetaka kun.”
“…………”
I thought I heard a crackling sound.
It’s like a spark. It was sunny outside, and it wasn’t supposed to be a cloudy sky with thunder.
“It’s true that you often look so happy.”
Amane’s gaze was sharp.
It wasn’t the soft eyes she was looking at me with. Amane was looking at Alice as if she were seeing something dirty.
“I’m.”
“It”It’s all your fault. You destroyed everything. The reason we broke up…!”
“Amane.”
I interrupted Amane’s words. At the same time, to protect her from my gaze, I close the distance between her and me and stand in front of her.
“Don’t say anything more.”
“But……!
Amane still had something to say, but just then the train arrived at the next station.
In a sense, it was good timing.
“Hidetaka kun, why…why is that girl worth protecting?!”
“I’ll tell you. She’s my only sister.”
That’s all I have to say as I shake off my ex-lover.
Yes, I chose my sister over my lover. Just like before. And I am sure I will continue to do so.
I was convinced of that. But—
“I’m still not convinced.”
