Understanding

Meanwhile at the mindscape, Kazuhiko, Gouenji, Shirou and Atsuya goes in to the door leading to the mind of Fubuki Shirou.


"Can't wait to know whatever you can't tell me, Onii-chan." Atsuya said rather excited heck, he was smirking to his brother.
"Can you just shut your mouth?" Gouenji grunted in an annoyed manner.
"Shesh! If you put it that way, Mr. Grumpy. I'll never stop..." Atsuya was about to scream on the top of his lungs when he was suddenly interrupted by their arrival inside Shirou's mind.
"Well, guys, we're here!" Kazuhiko said.
"Are you serious? This is freaking in the middle of nowhere in Hokkaido." Atsuya said.
"This is how your brother's mind visually manifested." Kazuhiko said.
"Anyways,where did Shirou go?" Gouenji said.
"I thought he was with you." Atsuya retaliated.
"No! He was with Kazuhiko ignoring your existence." Gouenji said


The bickering continued between the two soccer players yet seemingly, it was about to escalate to a physical fight.


"The two of you, shut the hell up!" Kazuhiko yelled.


It was a moment after that the Gouenji and Atsuya, stood there without another thought of uttering another word.


"If you hadn't bickered, Shirou-sama wouldn't have gotten that far." Kazuhiko said as he pointed over to an old rickety house.
"Wait! That's our house." Atsuya exclaimed. "Shirou-nii, wait!" Atsuya shouted to his brother and chased him.
"Shouldn't we catch up to them?" Gouenji said.
"Shuuya-sama, remember our little sister, Yuuka? You had some fights and solved it between yourselves alone."
"Yes...Wait! Did you just say 'our'?"
"Remember, I am a part of you. It just gives me the reason that your family and friends are also my family and friends."
"So, in a way, you know what's going on inside Fubuki's mind?"
"First of all, we are in the abstract representation of his mind, so, yes. Second, I know whatever both of you have on your mind, whatever it may be."
"You could have just told Atsuya and get done with all of this."
"Remember! My initial thoughts come from the both of you. Yet. I have the free will to make my own decisions. My point is that both of you are good brothers to your respective siblings, you want to fix this with them even how hard it is and you want it to be you to fix what's wrong between siblings. To put it simply, I'm merely following what both of you are thinking."
"Okay! If you want it that way." Gouenji said then he softly grunts, "I swear, I'm nothing like you."
"I heard that, Gouenji-sama. That should've been enough time. Let's go get them." Kazuhiko said.


Kazuhiko led the way towards the old rickety house while Gouenji was annoyed by the fact that he was having a conversation with part of himself and how his own thoughts backfired to him.


Meanwhile, Atsuya is just in time to reach the door of the old house and sees Shirou sitting on the floor, laying back on a shelf as he watches over a few albums which had moving pictures signifying his memories. He just shed a tear as he watched them. Atsuya just stands by the door, feeling sorry about the situation. When Shirou notices this, he swiftly wipes his tear and decides to ignore his brother and whatever emotion, he was hiding.


"Shirou-onii-chan, I'm sorry." Atsuya said in a very sincere and sympathetic manner as he gently bowed his head.


Silence remains for a few minutes as Shirou kept the one-sided conversation as it is.


"Shirou-nii. I have done terrible things at you, heck, I possessed you just so I can play soccer, pushed you to exhaustion and almost driven you to insanity. Even as I live, I'm a terrible person towards you. Even though,I knew you were the only one who'd understand me and I kept torturing you. I know the answer to my question, already. Come on, Onii-chan, please just talk to me." Atsuya said all of those as he was driven to tears as he stated the last sentence.


Atsuya just remains in the doorstep as he sat down, huddling his knees and cried as he played his face flat on his knees. As kept repeatedly said to himself, "I'm worthless."


This is when Shirou goes near his twin brother while he grabbed hold of a certain album. Shirou just pulls a handkerchief, raises Atsuya's chin and wiped his twin's tears.


"Okaa-san, did use mention that you're not your usual devilishly handsome self if you're crying." Shirou said.
"Onii-chan..." Atsuya said as he continued to cry.
"Stop blaming yourself, Atsuya." Shirou said as he hugged and patted Atsuya on the back."It's me to blame, if I had just told you how I see you. Truth be told, I could tell all the negative things but that's what make you my great brother, you may pull various pranks on me but you've made me stronger in life. You also complete me, I miss the good old days that we'll play in the snow and use our snowboards or have a snowball fight. Now that you're here, I don't want you to be gone again despite the mischiefs you've done."


The twins hugged out the problem for a while and later on, disrupted by the arrival of Gouenji and Kazuhiko. Then, the moment just dies as the twins break away from their hug.


"See Shuuya-sama, didn't I tell you they'll make up all on their own?" Kazuhiko said as he smiled while Gouenji just grunted.
"What are we still doing here, Kazuhiko? Didn't you say it was just in a few bits of time." Atsuya said.
"Changing the topic I see, but, no matter, the information from both Shirou-sama and Shuuya-sama are back to their respective bodies. So, you can get out of here." Kazuhiko answered.
"How do we get out of here, Hiko-kun?" Shirou asked as Kazuhiko smiled from the nickname.
"Atsuya, you're the only one who needs to get out. As for the two of you, for as long as I am me a.k.a. you guys fused isn't fuse then you'll stay here. As for me, I'm here and out there, so don't worry, this ismy home... Oh,right! Atsuya stand on that silver table, think of the most horrible thing, real or imaginable, enough to throw you off."
"Okay!" Atsuya said as he follows the instructions and imagined the avalanche incident. After that he suddenly turns into a mannequin looking like himself.
"What the hell, did you do?" Shirou asked panicked beyond compare.
"No need for fowl words. There's nothing to worry." Kazuhiko responded.
"What's not to worry about someone becoming inanimate." Gouenji retaliated.
"Remember, this is the mindscape, you people are just mannequin's fueled only by your mind. It's like your body without a body. Anyways, Shirou-sama, can you carry Atsuya mannequin back. There I'm going to separate myself out there so you can enjoy back your bodies back again. That's it, let's go." Kazuhiko said rather quickly and walked away.


As for Fubuki Shirou, he carried the mannequin as if Atsuya died and cried a bit on the way. While, Gouenji was kind enough to offer him some help to ease off the wacky events in the mindscape.
