"Do you even remember what I look like nii-chan ?"
"Its been a year since Rin Itoshi passed away from suicide. The signs were everywhere yet I couldn't see them, I thought it was a phase. There isn't a day I'm not thinking about him. Maybe I could have prevented it, but I didn't. I am a pathetic excuse for a brother."
It's been about 48 hours since he last fell asleep. He looks like a mess, a disgusting pitiful creature. It was his fault, the death of Itoshi Rin was in fact his fault. That day where he found his little brother dangling from the noose inside of his closet. It's branded into his eyes, nothing can make him unsee it. Suddenly hearing his door creek, he jerks up from his bed looking at the door. He truly was losing it.
"Whose there ??. ."Rubbing his temples; the effects of the sleepless nights quickly catching up to him. Sitting up on his bed before putting on his slippers heading towards the kitchen to grab a cup of water and some sleeping medications.
"I'm so tired of everything." Taking the medication in a quick gulp before heading towards the bathroom. Once he gets there he looks at the mirror, his heart stops beating momentarily. Behind him in the reflection of the mirror was none other than his brother, Rin.
"R-rin. .?" Too mortified to turn around and look. Was it real or was it a hallucination of his dead sibling ? Of course it wasn’t real you fool, he can’t come back, he's dead. Soon turning on the faucet and spraying cold water on his face, with the appearance of Rin disappearing as he reopened his eyes. He sighed relieved, his grip on the sink's counter tightened.
"Fucking hell, I cant do this." Heading back to his bedroom, feeling the effects of the sleeping medication finally working in his system. Before he lost consciousness he heard a familiar voice.
"Do you even remember what I look like nii-chan ?" A figure said looking disfigured due to decomposition barely recognizable, but that was him. That was Rin Itoshi right next to him.
