Itsuki of course didn’t realize that Itsume wasn’t going to grow as big as him or their parents. The young male did know that his sister was smaller than him now, however, and that meant she needed to be protected. She needed to be sheltered. Yet, hearing her idea, Itsuki was admittedly curious. Their… grandmother’s grave? The child cocked his head to the side, his blood-pink eyes shining with curiosity. His father hadn’t told him about a grave… nor had their mother. He did remember them saying something about their father’s mother being gone though.

“Another life…? What life could there be besides this one?” Itsuki didn’t understand that part. He furrowed his brow, but didn’t question his sister further. She didn’t really know either. Their father had said he’d finish explaining another time, when they were older… did he not trust them to learn now?

Itsuki closed his eyes, feeling a bit confused and a little frustrated… though not with Itsume. Finally he opened his eyes, speaking in a relatively calm tone for the youth. “If you want to go see the grave, Itsume, then we’ll go.” Itsuki began to wag his tail back and forth, taking a step forward. “You lead the way and I’ll be your guard, okay?”
