"Noooo!!"
"Shiro shouted," he said. Or maybe Honoka had done it first. Or maybe both of them. I didn't have time to think about it.
I was remembering that day. The day I first met Shiori. Eleven years ago, I became Shiori's older brother. Shiori would never laugh, so I wanted to somehow make her laugh. I told her I'd build a sandcastle with her in the park and take her as my wife. At first Shiori had an expressionless face, but gradually she began to frown, shed big tears, and then gave me an awkward smile... All of those memories flashed through my mind like a slideshow.
Immediately afterwards, I felt a sharp pain in my face. I covered my face with both hands, but blood was gushing out from between my fingers. It seemed to be a large cut, and there was an incredible amount of blood. I was unable to stand, so I rolled to the floor.
"it hurts..."
It hurts, it ...
That was the only thing I could think about. I probably would have fainted, but the pain was so unbearable that I couldn't even faint.
I heard the sound of something falling. Just moving my face even a little sent a sharp pain through me, but it seemed to be the sound of Shiori dropping a knife. The knife was covered in blood. I couldn't believe it, but it was real. I had been cut with such a sharp blade.
"I, I, I, I, I stabbed my brother..."
I turned towards the sign, relying on the voice. Our eyes suddenly met. Then, the sign put his hand over his mouth,
"I'm so, so sorry, big brother! It's my fault! It's my fault that this happened...! This happened...!!"
The symbol screamed frantically. It was the first time I had ever heard him sound so distraught.
Shiori picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground and held it to his throat.
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die now, so please forgive me!!"
The knife was about to cut his throat,
"Wait..."
I let out a cry as if squeezing it out.
At that moment, I was hit with an incredible pain, but I somehow managed to stand up without losing consciousness.
I faced the target.
Shiori removed the knife from his neck and looked at me with the eyes of a child who didn't know what to do.
We faced each other in silence for a while, then I slowly looked back and opened my mouth.
"Honoka...do you have a towel or something?"
"Ah..."
Honoka was taken aback by my voice, and took out a large handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to me with trembling hands.
"Thanks..."
I pressed the handkerchief I was given to my face to stop the bleeding.
"Soo-kun, does it hurt?"
Honoka asked with concern.
"Why did you do something so reckless? For someone like me... You're so stupid, Su-kun."
"Ahaha... maybe."
I laughed dryly.
"Let's go to the hospital quickly."
Honoka tries to take my hand, but--
"That's fine. First let's settle everything here. Anyway, listen to what I have to say."
I said to the sign that was standing there alone, looking stunned.
