FINISHING EATING, senjuro held on to [name]'s sides tightly as he clung on to her side, helping her walk on the engawa. "sorry for burdening you, senjuro–" [name] said but was cut off by senjuro himself. "don't need to be sorry [name]-chan!" senjuro exclaimed quickly. "i'll stick by your side till my brother gets home," senjuro said with a small smile before helping her continue her small walk.

[name] felt tears forming in her eyes as it fell unknowingly. senjuro was humming happily as he clung on to her before he noticed small sobs and senjuro looked up to see one of his favorite person in this world besides his brother, crying. "h-hah? o-onee-san! are you alright? why are you crying?" senjuro asked worriedly.

"i'm alright, senjuro-kun, i'm just touched by your words, that's all," she smiled weakly before senjuro set her down on the engawa and he sat next to her. he placed his head on her shoulders as [name] sighed, a cloud of breath formed and [name] could only wipe her tears silently. "i'm sorry, did i make you cry?" senjuro trailed off silently, and guiltiness was evident in his innocent voice.

"of course you didn't! i'm crying b-because i'm touched," [name] placed her hands on her chest with furrowed brows before patting senjuro's head. "that's good then," he smiled before grabbing her hand and gently entwining it with his tiny ones. the both of them laid still as senjuro continued playing with [name]'s hands as [name] stared at the falling snowflakes.

winter. such a white masterpiece. a delicate season yet such cruelty. it kills off most things, yet it manages to be children's favorite season where they could build snowmen and have intense dramatic snow fights. it was unfortunate [name] couldn't do anything during winter, it rather made her felt jealous that other people could be under the winter season just fine with a coat and some sweaters, but that wasn't enough for [name] at all.

her body was built differently, it wasn't meant to be touched by the snow, or it wasn't meant to feel such coldness. it couldn't withstand the cold air and shivers was all she could do all winter alongside sneezing, and coughing, as well as spending time in bed due to the days of intense fever, however she's used to it.

her only wish is to build a snowman together with kyojuro and senjuro. perhaps it sounds childish, but not being able to go out during the winter season really affected her curiosity. she had never touched snow, only because her overprotective parents wouldn't allow her to get out due to her sick and frail body.

without even realizing, [name]'s eyes fluttered shut as she breathed in and out softly. senjuro entwined his hands with hers before leaning on to her shoulder and he smiled happily. he felt content to be with her again after a long while of not seeing each other.
