Silence engulfed around the two siblings as they both stared at each other.

I do not know what came to my mind when I unconsciously said that despite me knowing that it's dangerous for me to let myself act off given my situation. However, right now... I know exactly what's going on in my mind. I know it all too clear like newly polished diamond.

Blank. My mind was blank as I looked at- supposedly- my brother who sported a dumbfounded expression. It'd been an amusing sight had I not been in the same situation he is in right now.

"B-brother- I--" I tried to muster up, but, eventually I gave up. It felt like something was preventing me from explaining myself- like a refusing to go through my throat. It felt like bubbles were floating up my throat, refusing to leave through my mouth.

This is bad. Really bad. The atmosphere around us feels so airy, but at the same time, suffocating.

Before I could suffocate myslelf with the air around us, Luna(bless her timing) shows up.

"What's taking you guys so long? "

I see Keii open his mouth and hesitate to speak but decided not to.

"Sorry, Lune. Did we bore you? " he tries to act normal. Both Luna and I can see it. All three of us are aware at his failed attempt at hiding the fact there's something that's bothering him.

And I know what it is.

God I just hope I don't get found out so quickly and easily.
