Did you drop it on the ground? It’s too dirty to take out—let me wash it for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry I’ll ruin your backpack, hehe—I washed all your dirty clothes today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every single one is spotless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t believe me, go check—I hung them all on the balcony.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Chie chattered like a little sparrow, never stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, she crossed her arms, puffed out her chest, wearing a smug little pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked exactly like a little princess who’d helped her parents with a small chore and was waiting for praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Mitsu said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He listened quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, by the way, Nisan, I didn’t just wash clothes today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I also took the quilts out to dry and mopped the floor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Chie pointed at the floor, beaming a sweet smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nisan, look—wasn’t it mopped clean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And, and—I saw it was getting late and you hadn’t come home, so I cooked dinner first and fried an egg.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You probably haven’t eaten yet—try my first home-cooked meal and tell me if it’s good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nisan, am I not amazing? I realized—I’m actually good at housework.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Chie’s eyes darted around—now at the floor, now at the wall beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fidgeted with the hem of her shirt:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So… Nisan, from now on, I’ll do the laundry, cooking, and drying the quilts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can also mop the floor and go buy groceries.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides these, I can help with other small things too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Chie’s voice trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nisan, don’t treat me like a child—I’m fifteen, I’m not little anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Mitsu remained silent, looking at Kamikawa Chie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she dared not meet his gaze, or perhaps she was too absorbed in speaking—she didn’t notice Kamikawa Mitsu was watching her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not a child anymore—I can do many things, help a lot, I can share some of your burdens, so…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her eyes reddened, her lashes dampened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears spilled uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she finished the word “so,” her voice shook, her body trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gripped her shirt hem so tightly it bunched into wrinkles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to say what came next—but couldn’t. Her throat felt blocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to speak, yet dared not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afraid that saying those words would bring loss, would…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after long silence, Kamikawa Mitsu moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and lightly patted Kamikawa Chie’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression didn’t change—but that didn’t mean he was cold, or unaware of why Kamikawa Chie had suddenly spoken these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reached the front door, Kamikawa Mitsu had sensed something from the original owner’s memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original owner had written two farewell letters before boarding the plane to commit suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was the letter inside the backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was the discarded draft, written at first and thrown into the trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Mitsu had prayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped Kamikawa Chie hadn’t found the trash-can letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from Kamikawa Chie’s behavior now, she had clearly found it—she knew Kamikawa Mitsu intended to kill himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Mitsu lightly patted Kamikawa Chie’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That gentle tap was like the final strike on a dam on the verge of collapse—Kamikawa Chie shuddered, and could no longer hold back; she burst into sobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to stifle her crying, tried to wipe away her tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want Kamikawa Mitsu to see her sadness—she feared it would break his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how hard she wiped, the tears wouldn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kept flowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she remembered the suicide letter she’d found that morning in his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even more so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the bright overhead hallway light, she suddenly noticed several strands of white hair in Nisan’s hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, in today’s society, academic pressure was immense—high school students having a few white hairs was perfectly normal; walk down any street and you’d find teenagers with gray strands, whether they studied or not—it was common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kamikawa Chie didn’t think of that. To her, those white hairs were the result of Nisan bearing the entire household alone—endless worries, endless burdens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Chie wasn’t foolish; she knew clearly how gloomy and troubled Nisan had become since their parents died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the once-smiling Nisan still greeted her every day with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she knew—it was a mask. He was holding on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she secretly opened his room, she saw him frowning, clutching his head, deep in thought over daily expenses and future struggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every time she tried to offer, Nisan would rebuke her: “You’re just a child—what can you do? You’ll only make things worse—go do your homework.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, he’d even sulk after saying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over time, Kamikawa Chie stopped speaking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She feared he’d get angry, feared he’d think her useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything changed after she found the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing its contents, overwhelming regret surged through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Chie was filled with deep remorse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She regretted that she hadn’t insisted on helping, hadn’t summoned the courage to share Nisan’s burdens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the most anxious day of Kamikawa Chie’s life since her parents’ death—she felt fear and unease once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She feared Nisan had already killed himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to go out and search for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she feared that if he hadn’t killed himself and returned home to find her gone, he’d be burdened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All day long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From morning until night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Chie stayed home, praying Nisan wouldn’t kill himself, waiting for him to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And during that long wait, she didn’t just sit idle—she did the chores Nisan used to do, hoping to ease his burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time she finished a chore and felt its exhaustion, Kamikawa Chie cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… Nisan had shouldered so much. I’m such a fool, such an idiot! Why couldn’t I have realized this sooner?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waited all the way until nightfall, as darkness descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the sky, Nisan still hadn’t returned…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Chie’s heart, like the night sky, was cloaked in a layer of darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A darkness named helplessness, dread, regret, self-blame…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, that darkness grew deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the darkness neared its breaking point, Kamikawa Chie finally heard the sound she most longed for—the door opening—and the words she most wanted to hear: “I’m back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a moment’s hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamikawa Chie rushed out, so frantic and hurried that she knocked into the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ignored the pain and ran out on tiptoe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Kamikawa Mitsu, her trembling heart finally settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, she did not cry; she held back the urge to weep and spoke the words she had silently rehearsed countless times that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until she reached the final few sentences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She realized her tears, long held back, had already fallen—and could not be stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when she spoke the very last sentence,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she broke down, her voice cutting off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not dared to speak the final phrase she had rehearsed so many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was stuck hard on the two words: “So…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest remained unsaid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she feared that saying it would reveal she had read the letter, stirring something deep in Nisan, making him feel his vulnerability had been seen by his sister—fearing she might lose him, fearing her words would bind him, fearing she would burden him, that he would grow angry…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the sentence was short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And simple:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Nisan, let’s strive to live on together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>",1445,"2026-06-20T17:56:08.120Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","97bf3fd6464e41723eecc1ba665445e60a6ef4c2fd485f63b83333fc3ce989bb","i-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-chapter-14","i-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-chapter-12",477,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-sparked-the-hundred-demon-night-parade-in-toky-cover.jpg"]
