Essence "Memories of Autumn" Chapter 6: Don't Cry

When I returned to Higurashi Villa, it was already nighttime. In front of the apartment, I unconsciously stopped in my tracks. It should have felt familiar, like it always did with my own home, but suddenly it felt unfamiliar. No, it's not just Higurashi Villa. Ever since Ki broke up with me, everything seemed to have changed. I looked up at the sky. I didn't notice when the rain had stopped. Of course, that makes sense. Rain doesn't fall endlessly. No matter how violent the sudden downpour, or how fierce the strong wind, it always comes to an end. But... “When will the rain stop...?” Ki said this with a very sad expression. What exactly does this sentence mean? I really don't understand. Moreover, I've even lost the direction to explore. Looking at the winter night sky, I let out a long sigh. My shoulders were weighed down by the heaviness and cold of winter. I took a deep breath of the cold air. Tears came out. “How awful, I'm actually crying over a breakup…” My mind was in chaos, and my chest ached. I felt truly pitiful. I wanted to cry out loudly. I raised my sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes. “So cold! So cold! So cold!” I went into my room, reached for the switch, and turned on the light. I turned on the only heating device in my house, a cheap little heater bought outside. I'll take a shower, then sleep early today. So I headed to the small bathroom. Just then, suddenly, the door opened. Something pounced on me! Just like a lion capturing its prey, and then quietly held me. ?? : “Onii-chan” “Yu-Yu…” The girl holding me was my little sister, Yu. She put both arms around my neck and, with tears, spoke to me. Yu: “Geez, I was so worried…? I thought you weren't coming back…” Yu leaned against my head and kept nuzzling me. “You don't have to worry this much!” “But, but…” Yu's big eyes looked at me. Yu: “You broke up with Ki-senpai, didn't you?” “How did you know?” “I ran into senpai on the street today, and as usual, I greeted her, ‘Onii-chan, please take care of her…'” “…You always greet her like that?” “Yes, and then Ki-senpai told me.”'I've already broken up with Yishu.' I thought of you, brother, you must have been hit hard, so I ......! So I ......! "So you came all the way here?" En, who had been holding me all along, nodded vigorously. Yishu: "No, I wasn't hit hard." "How could that be? You must be just kidding." "No, I'm serious." "You must be feeling really hurt, right? Just now, I saw you, brother...... Standing in front of the apartment crying." "......... Did you see it? "Wen...... Seeing you sigh in pain...... And sob softly...... Really defeated, indeed, I was in pain...... But I don't want to be pitied.
