[KIYOMI]
Kiyomi hated asking questions. But as she stood here with Sakura, she couldn't help but wonder if there was anything that both she and Elif could have done to save their friendship.
Odanera was never locked for Kiyomi, but she couldn't help but wonder about the possibilities of the life that they both could have had if they had just leaned into the love they had shared. She could already feel her tears coming.
And in a moment of weakness…
Kiyomi tapped into the mind link she shared with Elif.
'Elif… sister… Are you there?' Kiyomi asked silently and hopefully.
No answer.
Like the mind link had been shut off.
But that was not fair; not today of all the days.
Maybe something had happened, but what was it that could happen to the sister that she had protected with everything?
Maybe Kiyomi was just overthinking it all.
