Arren left right after that. Something was definitely bothering him. I fell asleep after a little while. I sleep a lot in this place. I woke up, and the nurse had left. In her stead was my brother, sitting right across from me, looking cool, as always.
”...Hey.”
“Hey there, sleepy head. What’s goin’ on?”
”...Nothin..”
”...Look…I’m sorry.”
“What are you sorry about?”
“Because…I died, and you needed me…”
“Hey, it’s not your fault. Those Paradise bastards killed you…”
“But you needed me!”
“Hey, I got here didn’t I?”
”...I guess so.”
”...Why are you even here?”
”...I’m not allowed to say much, but I can you one piece of advice.”
“Yes?”
“Follow V. Do as he says. You will never be a ‘normal’ kid again. You have to stay here, and follow him. Promise me.”
“But what abou”
“Promise me!”he said, looking as stern as possible.
”...I promise.”
”...Good…I have to go now. My time here was limited, and now I have none left. I hope you enjoyed seeing me. Good luck.”
Then he faded away into nothing.
