"Tick Tick ......"

Turn off the bedside alarm.

I opened my eyes.

Outside the window, the sunlight sloped onto my bed.

Oh, is it already morning?

I sighed and half-sat up on the bed, looking down at the sunlight on the bed, the morning air comfortably surrounding me.

The black mark on his hand has dimmed.

But it didn't disappear.

It's a parasitic beast.

It's not a comfortable thing, it's just that there is suddenly an unknown thing in a person.

And, that girl......

When I think about the things in my dream, I can't help but feel sick to my stomach.

Why do you dream of dead people?

Is that guy telling the truth?

Twilight, does this thing in my hand have the ability to manipulate dreams?

What was that final scene?

The mark on the hand, which glows, turns out to be daytime?

"Hey... Glass? ”

I patted my wrist and tried to wake up the guy inside.

But it backfired.

Sure enough, there was no response in my ear.

Never mind.

I got out of bed.

Step out of the room and into the living room.

As you can see, the sky is very visible today, and it is a rare sunny day, which is rare after the town has been introduced to many chemical factories due to economic development.

Although the economy has developed and many modern buildings have been renovated, it was once glorious for a while, but with the economic development of the nearby big cities, the population of the small town has become less and less, and it has become the same as before.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

I stood on the balcony, under the clear sky, there were not many people coming and going on the road on the side of the street, and the cars were parked on both sides of the road, like paintings, with the afterglow of purple air shining on the old telephone poles.

Telephone poles are strung up to the fields to the hills and forests that cannot be seen in the distance, and there are many factories near the reservoirs.

Forget it, don't look at it.

Now, the door to my sister's room is locked, and I haven't gotten up yet.

Don't you seem to be awake yet?

I looked at the walls of the room, and the clock was 6:21.

It's Friday and I'm going to work.

Because the commuter office is located in the city, you need to take the intercity train early in the morning.

So you have to leave early.

On weekdays, my sister and I commute in the morning.

It's the same today.

That's how it should be.

But thinking of the strange sight of my sister entering the kitchen with a sack yesterday.

I still went into the kitchen while my sister didn't get up.

It seems like there's no difference in the kitchen......

Except for a few drops of clotted blood that fell on the red film of the refrigerator.

The refrigerator at home is a bright red shading, which is not visible on weekdays.

If it weren't for the rare sunny day, it seems like I wouldn't have been able to see the droplets on the red top.

It's blood.

Not......

An ominous premonition crept up in me.

I swallowed.

Opened the refrigerator.

Nothing......

Inside the cold storage above.

I was relieved to open the freezer below.

only to find that the piece of meat that had been washed yesterday had now disappeared without a trace.

I had nothing to say and closed the refrigerator door.

At the right time:

"Brother, what are you doing?"

At this time, a voice sounded behind me.

I turned my head.

My sister, who was in her pajamas, looked at me lazily, her hair was messy, and she was rubbing her eyes with one hand, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"Nothing, just to see what can be served as breakfast, I can't find those leftover fruit pizzas from last night..."

"Oh, I threw it away, along with that piece of kangaroo meat."

"Kangaroo meat?"

"yes, kangaroo meat, I originally wanted to make hamburger meat."

“……”

It's kangaroo meat, I see.

Anyway, I've never eaten kangaroo meat, it's a pity, such a big piece.

"Why do you want to dump it?"

"Ah, the fridge broke down and it was emptied."

"Well..."

I felt a little pity, but I didn't say anything more, but I was curious that my sister woke up so early, so I asked:

"Yuyi, why did you get up so early today?"

"Well, I don't know, I just woke up suddenly, but I'm still very sleepy, I don't know why."

As she spoke, she yawned, and then walked up to me, more than a head shorter than me, how tall is this guy, isn't it that girls generally reach their lifelong height in middle school?

She took out the milk from the refrigerator and continued to yawn and said:

"What time is it?"

"6.22, do you want to have breakfast?"

I turned off the fridge.

"I want a sandwich, brother, please."

"Sandwiches? It should be possible. I said.

Then I saw my sister walking back into the living room like a kitten.

……

With the leftovers of the kitchen, I tinkered with it and made a sandwich, my sister doesn't like to eat meat, so there are only eggs and lettuce and tomatoes, and even said that for health or something, this guy came in halfway and told me not to put salt in the eggs?

Make no mistake, are eggs good without salt?

And, even more speechless, when I came to the restaurant with a breakfast of sandwiches in my hand.

The guy actually opened the top layer of bread from the sandwich with his hand and complained to me:

"What's going on? Why is soy sauce not added? ”

"What? Why do you want to add soy sauce? ”

"How can you eat fried eggs without soy sauce!"

"I've never heard of soy sauce for fried eggs."

"Then you're a heretic, and the fried eggs in the town's fast food restaurants, including the school cafeteria, are all soy sauce."

“……”

I had nothing to say but to bring the soy sauce.

With a happy face, she poured a few drops of soy sauce onto the fried egg.

By the way, I'm humming a song, and this tune seems to be the same as what I heard last night.

"言葉にできない、この想いが; 大切なあなたへと届きますように......"

"What are you singing?" It's a very familiar tune, but it's completely unclear when sung in Japanese.

My sister's second foreign language from elementary school is Japanese.

"Eternal Moon, Natsukawa Satomi's song." My sister, Yui said happily for some reason.

"By the way, the Chinese translation is your moon and my heart, brother, you haven't heard of this, have you?"

"How is that possible... Teresa Teng's song, it seems that there are plates at home, when did you buy it......"

I pondered as I ate on a tasteless sandwich.

"Dad bought it, Dad used to like this song very much, did my brother forget?"

Speaking of this, Yui bowed her head in great frustration.

"Uh......"

I don't know what to say, but I can only say, "I'm sorry, I've been so busy lately that I forgot about it all at once." ”

When it comes to her deceased parents, my sister really feels sad, after all, I'm already an adult, and Yui is still a child.

……

After eating, I tidied up the table.

Changing into a suit, after all, it is an office, and you still have to wear such a suit and leather shoes, it seems to be a very formal job, in fact, it is a 9-to-5 job, fortunately I am not married, otherwise the salary of a few thousand ups and downs is not enough to see.

At this point, I stood in the doorway, put on my leather shoes, and Yuyi patted me on the shoulder.

"Brother, you forgot to bring your tie!"

"Oops, I almost forgot, otherwise I'm going to have a mess."

As she spoke, I tried to reach out and take my tie, but Yui took the lead and tied me up.

"Brother, have a safe journey~!"

Yui took a step back and looked at me with a grin.

I felt my heart healed.

However, I didn't hear the hidden sadness in the corners of her smiling eyes at the time.

And the words that she whispered afterwards seemed to melt into the air:

"Forever... Other... up..."
