Mitsuhide watched Kit over the next few days as they settled June into the sleep study center and made her semi-permanent room more like a real room for someone who was at the sleep center to rest instead of why she was there. Kit was the one who was making sure everything was in place for his sister in a way that he didn’t know how too. He was in awe of her every time he watched her handle some of the major hurdles that were put in their way. He was coming to grips that he was ousted as his sister’s primary caregiver, and he was okay with all of that.

“I think we should get the twins used to our voices.” Kit said as they settled into the couch at her house.“How do you purpose we do that?” he asked as he moved his head to glance at her.“I think we should make like a recording of us talking into a cheap mp3 player or something like that and have headphones play them for the babies on repeat.

Kit was over her head when she thought about the situation all day about everything. The more she thought about everything she knew, the more she felt lost. This was not something she really could get her mind to follow one step and then the rest. It made perfect sense one time, and then it made none. She seemed to be in a hallway of mirrors that nothing was as it seemed it to be. It was exhausting to think about. She was so far deep into her thoughts the day past to fast, and she had been doing nothing but thinking.When she got home, she saw Mitsuhide’s car, and she felt a tiny bit of relief until she walked in the house and saw him in the middle of the main area. He was still mad. He was going through this as well, and she wanted nothin

He had lost more than just a friend. He had lost his heart that night with his words. She had been his rock. His safety net in so much more than just this situation, and he had completely thrown it away. He hurt though he never let anyone else see it through his mask.

Mitsuhide took Kit back to her house, where he went on to show her how much he missed her the past few weeks and also how much he did truly love her. It started with a simple back rub and then progressed. He knew he would spend the rest of his life paying for that one mistake, if only his mind. He knew it had cost them both something that he wished he could completely take back, but he knew he couldn’t. He also, for the first time, realized the simple power of love in those hours.
