do you believe there's something special about velgrove?

"there must be something special about everything." he said while looking to eudora, hands working on cleaning the plate she had just eaten from, picking it up from the table. "it's the place i've spent all my life on, i think it needs to be special." he nodded to himself, as if agreeing to his own words.

"i hear a lot of opinions about here from the kitchen, you know? to each their own opinions, and I hear it all. even more, i also listen to the whispers that come from the night, the woods and the sea. a town that talks own its own is special enough to me." once again, he nodded. "what do you like about here?"

what is your favorite memory?

"such delicate things, the memories we hold, as if a candle that could be blown out at any moment. we protect them so carefully, fighting against the wind to keep that fire going for the longest we can, but eventually, it will blow out. we can never be sure when will be the last time we think about something or someone. so maybe the question is: what candle am my fighting to keep alight... and to that all i have an answer, the last time i ever saw my mother's face."

— event 001 / the vanishing tell me two lies and one truth.

his head was low when those words were spoken on his direction, eyes on the book he had recently got from the library as his right hand worked at the same time, writting down all his favorite quotes in his notebook. "such an interesting thing to want to know about someone." his soft tone was just as usual, face straight. shiro didn't mind either, lying or telling the truth. the feeling under his skin was just the same. he can read people well enough to tell they can't read him back.

"my hearing is great; i hate the echo of my empty house; as a child, i used to dream of being a poet." the words slipped from his lips as if the most casual thing, no stops taken to even think about the information that was given so casually. "but now i wander." his head rising to look at the man, his eyes meeting his as if nothing. "what do you usually lie about? do you think people can tell?"

"The world's continual breathing is what we hear and call silence"

“That’s just how he has always been” were the words his mother kept repeating to everyone who would question her about her youngest son’s behavior. Born into a loving and traditional family, Shiro seemed to stand out for all the wrong reasons. His behavior in the eyes of those who had so many expectations just seemed to be unacceptable. It was almost like he had been hiding secrets from the moment he took his first breath. The inexpressive face, the unfazed behavior while facing situations that seemed way too intense for someone so young. Shiro was never rude, always kind, under that cold layer. He seemed to understand people even better than they understood themselves, so why couldn’t she show any of that?

His mother thought he needed to be saved, his father believed he needed to be fixed, and his older brother despised the very mention of his name, terrified of him for a reason no one could really tell. Maybe it was the eyes, Shiro still remembers the very first time he was taken by his parents to see a doctor, he remembers what he said about his eyes “It’s like staring into a mirror, there’s nothing but yourself to look back at.” Maybe some people were just too scared to look at themselves for too long, it’s what he likes to believe.

Nothing seemed to bother him, he grew up doing the things he believed he should, acting the way he understood was appropriate. He enjoyed going to the library, studying, learning and most of all he appreciated spending time on his own, and maybe some higher power misunderstood his appreciation for the quiet as a desire for loneliness, because it took everyone he had.

On a random Saturday night, he walked back home to an empty house, no one but the family’s cat left behind. As a first instinct he thought they all had run away from him and all the pain he had brought to them, but in just a few hours of investigation he noticed that everything was in place, as if they had never left. No one ever came back, and nothing changed for others. Life kept going around him as if nothing had ever happened. Eventually he moved on, accepting that the answer could never be objective when he was the only one working towards them, everything besides their absence seemed normal and at night he couldn't help but question "Were they ever here?”
