Dakugakuji says I’m silly, because I’m a girl. But I know girls know best. Girls know birds, the sky, and words. Lots.

I know that onii-chan loves his mother the best. And Yaone loves onii-chan the best. And Dakugakuji loves his brother the best, maybe onii-chan, a little, too. I know I love onii-chan best. But who loves Lirin best?

I think that onii-chan can make room for me in his heart, someplace just for me. So I love him lots, love him hard, because I know best.

I know birds and skies and words.

Silly things, girls, he says.
