    In the heart of a bustling city lived two siblings. They shared a bond deeper than that of ordinary siblings. They were inseparable, their bond was more like a best friend. The brother, Hiroshi, was a year older than his sister, Sakura. They were each other's world, their love for each other was pure and innocent.

    Their parents were rarely home, leaving the siblings to fend for themselves. Despite their absence, Hiroshi and Sakura managed to create a happy home. Their bond grew stronger, and their feelings for each other changed subtly.
