Ch. 2: What is Important to Him
Stimma was guiding me through the castle, and telling me all about his brothers.
Stimma: "My older younger brother is Flu. He's pretty quiet, so you really have to listen carefully to understand him. But he's really doing his best! He's the kind of guy that'll talk when the time comes. Meanwhile my youngest younger brother, Rufen, is the complete opposite! He's really energetic and lively! Though it'd probably be good for him to calm down once in a while."
Stimma seemed really happy as he talked about his brothers.
At that time…-
A man with purple hair was walking down the hallway.
Stimma: "Lied…"
Lied?
Stimma: "Hey, Lied…-"
Stimma seemed as if he wanted to say something, but he abruptly stopped and let the man pass through.
Stimma: "…"
OO: "Stimma?"
Stimma: "Aah…sorry!"
Suddenly realizing I had said his name, Stimma quickly looked at me and laughed.
Stimma: "That guy who just walked by was my cousin, Lied. He's really amazing. Though he doesn't really have any social skills."
He smiled at his own joke and shrugged.
However, that smiling face looked a little lonely.

-
Are you alright? (SUN)
-
Do you not get along? (MOON)
Stimma: "You don't have to worry, it's fine."
That's what Stimma said as he looked off in the direction Lied had gone.
Stimma really does look sad for some reason…
The light from the moon illuminated his face in profile.
OO: "Are you alright?"
Stimma: "Huh? What!? I-I'm fine!"
OO: "Do you two not get along…?"
Stimma: "That's not it! We get along fine!"
