My big brother was the coolest, and the smartest, and the best. Some kids called their little brothers names, told them to get lost. Not Akiteru. He brought me everywhere. He never, ever left me out.
[In the dark, it's not so hard to imagine it. The Kei who used to be. Bright-eyed and beaming, tagging along in Akiteru's footsteps.
A ghost.]
I started playing volleyball because he did. It could have been any sport. I didn't care.
