"Len, what do you wish for ever so diligently every day?" a blonde girl asked a blond boy who looked like her mirror image. They were at a beach, standing in the shallows and watching a message in a bottle float away with the tide.
"I wish for Rin-samas happiness, always and forever." Len smiled at her. The girls, Rins, eyes widened, and a faint blush spread across her cheeks.
"If you want that then stay with me, always and forever." Len embraced his sister in a hug.
"Of course, milady."
I stood with my feet in the water, digging my toes into the wet sand around them. My small hands clutched a tiny glass bottle, containing a wish.
"If you put your wish in a bottle and set it out to sea, it will come true one day."
"That's rubbish, besides; I have you to grant all my wishes for me." Rin smiled, Len did too.
I kneeled down, the water soaking into my worn dress. Gently, I set the bottle into the waves. I stood and watched it flow away slowly. Tears threatened to flood out as I started to sing. Words spilled out of my mouth with no particular rhythm or pattern.
"Flow along little glass bottle"
I'm sorry…
"With a message containing my wish"
I'm sorry…
"On the other side of the horizon"
I'm sorry…
"There it disappears quietly"
I'm sorry…
"Flow along little wish"
God... please
"Tears and a little bit of regret"
Please...
"If we were to be born again," I choked on my words. I stopped singing and finished the thought in whispers.
If we were to be reborn…
"It would be nice to be twins again"
Yeah, that would be nice... I felt my knees give out. I fell into the water with a splash, tears did stream out of my blue eyes this time, but only because I didn't think that. It was lens voice. I turned my head around just in time to see him fade away, the ghost of a smile haunting his face that was so much like mine.
I smiled.
I'm sorry.
