Research showed that after experiencing an extremely major shock, people could rapidly undergo a transformation—Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at the little sister who had once been so innocent. Wasn't this change happening far too quickly? Wait, could Yukino be hypnotizing herself...
"Isn't the one acting strangely clearly you, Sister?" Yukino Yukinoshita felt the same way. What had happened to her sister today—the sister who liked teasing her but had always appeared perfect in public? Why had she repeatedly lost her composure? First, she had put on that bizarre look, then she had ignored Mashiro, and now she was even questioning the most basic system of rewards and punishments.
"..." Having been interrupted the moment she spoke, Yukinoshita Haruno fell silent for a while before she could not help saying, "Yukino, could you please snap out of it? Your sister knows you can't accept what happened today right away, but you can't just give up on yourself because of it..."
"Give up on myself?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked in confusion.
"That's right. In your sister's eyes, little Yukino is just deceiving herself out of despair. Since something that shouldn't have happened has already happened, don't try to deceive yourself. Face that awful experience instead..."
"Weren't all those things because of you, Sister?" Though the older sister was feeding her some chicken soup for the soul, the younger sister was not particularly fond of drinking it. "And didn't I say so already? I don't care about those things anymore!"
"Can't little Yukino be more honest? How could you possibly just say you don't care and actually not care..." Not care? If she didn't care, would she treat something with a pattern similar to YJ as a reward?
"I am being honest! And I truly don't mind those things!" Yukino Yukinoshita emphasized.
"Is that so?"
