The next day, returning to school from home, little Hanabi's gaze towards Uesugi Sakura became evasive, and her face even more bashful.
For things like menstrual periods, a young girl should ask her mother.
But the sisters didn't have the option of parents in their lives, so they often had to rely on themselves.
Now Aei could only ask her brother Uesugi Sakura for help on behalf of her sister. He felt it was inappropriate for him to explain, "Aei, you should tell sister Hanabi about the bleeding."
"Why? Isn't it fine to ask brother?"
"It's not fine, I don't bleed."
"Sister Hanabi bleeds?"
"Yeah, she does, so you should ask Chiaei to talk to her."
Aei seemed to have realized something and stood up from the bed, "It's unfair!"
"What's unfair?"
"Why don't boys bleed?"
"...telling me won't help you."
