Aqua and Kota's Departure

The dawn of the next morning brought with it a heavy sense of loss and despair. The news of Aqua and Kota's sudden disappearance spread like wildfire, and everyone was left in shock.

Each of them had left a letter behind, a final farewell to their family and loved ones. The words within Aqua's letter echoed with haunting sadness.

Aqua (in his letter): "I don't deserve anything. What I did is unforgivable. It will be better if I go."

His words carried an eerie familiarity, as if they were borrowed from another time, another pain.

Aqua (in his letter): "It was the line that our father wrote for something that he couldn't even control, that childhood trauma that always haunted him."

The revelation sent shockwaves through their hearts, particularly those closest to Aqua and Kota. Ruby, Akane, Kana, and Ai were left in tears, grappling with the weight of their own actions and words.

Ruby, overwhelmed with guilt and regret, couldn't help but blame herself.

Ruby (anguished): "I shouldn't have said those words. I never thought they would do that."

The painful truth of their departure left everyone with a profound sense of sorrow and remorse, as they were forced to confront the consequences of their actions and the impact of their words on the lives of those they loved. Akane, tormented by guilt over Aqua's departure, spoke with a heavy heart.

Akane (tearful): "I'm sorry, Aqua. I failed to protect you."

Kana, on the other hand, couldn't help but express a mix of frustration and admiration for Kota.

Kana (exasperated yet fond): "That idiot, Kota, is really something."

But it was Ai, Aqua and Kota's mother, who bore the deepest emotional burden. The words of her children cut through her heart like a knife, leaving her shattered.

Ai (broken and filled with remorse): "I... I pushed them away with my anger and disappointment. Now, they're gone, and I may never have a chance to make it right."

Her voice trembled with pain and regret, the weight of their absence bearing down on her like a crushing wave. The tragic turn of events had left their family broken, each one haunted by their own role in driving Aqua and Kota away.
