“Life was apparently normal, almost carefree and peaceful in the city of Tokyo. One summer in 2023, it rained non-stop and the wind blew lightly caressing the foreheads of those who passed by. Young Ichigo was contemplating the fresh rain and without any danger, was he alone? No. His younger sister was quietly leaning on the older's shoulder. So the time could pass without more to say or do, however, the soft and sweet words of the minor brought Ichigo to reality.

-Hey… brother, don't you feel nostalgic for this? - Asked the minor.

The young man tried to understand happy words. The seconds for him would pass quickly, but for the youngest it would take forever for her brother's answer.

-Not exactly why do you ask? -

-There is… something here in all this familiar environment- the minor would stare into infinity.

"Familiar huh?" Young Ichigo thought, although the atmosphere seemed familiar to him since they would meet on his terrace with the small hut that they had built a year ago. Although ... it was a miracle that they remembered that, because the two brothers suffered from terminal amnesia that little by little the memories of yesterday would leave their minds, leaving them to remember nothing more than what they did 3 years ago. When they were three years old, those memories faded and they began to create new ones. Why they didn't know… but they had already given up long ago, living a normal college life. At that, Ichigo for some reason connected with his younger sister's feeling.

"Ai, now that you mention it I do feel a little nostalgic about this," Ichigo said.

It didn't take me a second for it to appear that time had stopped and that the seconds passed more slowly by an hour. The two brothers would freeze as if in front of them they were seeing the God of rain Tlaloc. Suddenly, as if they were a camera flash, two images appeared in their minds: A flower shop and a letter in Ichigo's locker with a flower.

The phenomenon was over and the rain had stopped, the two brothers said nothing for several minutes, maybe hours ... but most likely in that instant Ichigo felt a ray of hope.

- Brother ... what was ... that? - Asked the minor with some fear.

"Hope" without thinking, young Ichigo would say those words as inspiring as the journey that awaited them both.

-Hope… How? - stutter the minor

-Hope, because this is what I feel. Those images, weren't they familiar? - I ask.

-To tell the truth, yes ... What does all that mean? - The minor would look with eyes full of confusion, but an immense curiosity.

Ichigo smiled as usual, he would pat his sister on the back and they would retreat inside. The sister still did not understand what was happening and decided once more to ask:

-Brother, what was all that? I don't get it- grumbled the youngest and with her hand pulled the older one by his shirt and he stopped staring at her.

-It means ... that we can cure our disease. Just trust me- Even Ichigo kept his smile warm for his little sister.

The youngest would last a few seconds, but when he thought of the hope they both longed for, he would look at his brother with eyes full of brilliance.

-If so, I trust you brother. Tomorrow a new day awaits us with a hint of today that we find something from yesterday- Ai would dedicate a slight but tender smile to her brother, she would hug him and they would say good night.

Young Ichigo went to his room, tired from seeing so much rain and that little event- He lay down on his bed in the lotus flower position.

Looking out the window at the vast city of Tokyo in Ichigo lay a new question in his mind: "What awaits us out there?"

Today was over for them and tomorrow was a mystery to both brothers.

“The sun's ray penetrated Ichigo's room, what had it been yesterday? But today was simply today and little by little Ichigo's eyes adjusted to reality as if someone gave him a little numbing device. The young man with some fatigue got up slightly from his bed. The little familiar smell would be the key to his total return to reality.

- Mother? -he told himself.

That thought of him shook him completely out of bed, prioritizing the drastic change from his ordinary clothes. Going down the stairs, Ichigo still couldn't get rid of that little question in his head, it was impossible, his mother had left ... long ago.

Going all the way down the stairs and into the kitchen, he would find the younger girl preparing the old, but tasty CakesHot. That thought of Ichigo was erased and he was completely calm.

- Good day brother! Ready to go one more day to college? - Asked very animated the minor.

Although she was the youngest, Ai seemed more like her mother to care for the eldest a rather peculiar irony, although not all the time it was like that. However, when it comes to breakfast, she seems to be the oldest.

-Nothing better than your delicious CakesHot Ai. You learned from the best- Ichigo said sitting down at the table.

Ai bringing two plates with CakesHot and two cups of coffee with milk the two brothers would have breakfast comfortably on a fresh and beautiful morning. The minutes would go by quickly for them and in the blink of an eye they were walking towards their university, ready for a new ranch of typical things.

- Have you ever wondered why we both study psychology? - Asked the oldest to the youngest.

Ai spent a few minutes analyzing the question, as if her answer was really important. Then he went to his brother and replied:

-What things do you say brother. Obviously we want that to unravel the mysteries of terminal Amnesia, dummy. - Ai exclaimed.

The older one would just retire and they would continue on their way to college. Every step that people took more and more came together, each with their friends and in their little worlds where if you dared to enter you would never leave alive.

Already in college Ichigo thought about that supposed image of a letter in his locker "was it really there?" thought.

-Ai, when leaving the university, let's check that first image of the locker, okay? - The eldest would dedicate a warm smile to Ai.

-Miawwww. Count on me! -

So the youngest would retire to her classroom and Ichigo to his. The hours passed between the people without realizing it, Ichigo always saw them in the same routine as always and there was almost never something new around. To tell the truth, it was a recurring cycle that today's young people had, being in the last year of university they understood each other better than anyone. With the faith of studying psychology as something to cure his amnesia Ichigo would end the day of the university. The feeling of fear and anxiety were the main feelings that Ichigo and Ai were having when they were in front of Ichigo's locker: What could it be? Would it be real? Was the flower poisonous? All those questions came to Ichigo and Ai, however, the older decided to act. He opened the locker and inside the locker there was indeed a letter and a small flower with white petals.

-So this is what it's about. A letter. - Young Ichigo said.

The two of them froze for a few minutes, but then Ichigo would take the letter and he and his sister would leave for home. The hours passed between them without saying anything, of course the minor could not endure all that awkward silence between her brother and her.

- Why didn't you say anything brother? - Asked the minor.

Ichigo apparently wouldn't listen to the youngest and would continue to see into infinity, but seconds later he would realize his younger sister's words and return to reality again.

-Sorry Ai, it's just that this is very sudden. But I'm sure who our friend was will be exciting! - I exclaimed giving the minor a warm smile.

Ai calmed down and leaned on the older man's shoulder as usual, as the road was still long to get home. While Ichigo would see through the window the immense landscape that every day they shot to Ichigo, "Would the memories of yesterday be worth it? The feeling of recovering the memories of yesterday? And yes ... aren't they as you thought them? what would they be? " Those questions would overwhelm Ichigo for a moment, he was afraid of the memories that could be from the past, but despite everything he did not want to repeat the same mistakes that he may have made at some point.

Upon arriving at the house, the two brothers would sit in an armchair and Ichigo would slightly open the letter so that he could read it ... and when he read it, everything was like an explosion to the head as if it were a hard blow with a hammer:

Dear Ichigo and Ai:

Hello! I know you may read this very carefully and perhaps with some fear, right? I know the past is scary, you may come up with something you never expected. Yesterday nobody likes to know if it was hard, gloomy and heavy ... and they always want to live for tomorrow without realizing the present. That's what the closest friends you can have are for, and I'm talking about myself. I won't say my name, but I know that one day… they will remember three things to find me, and they are doing it, don't be give up! Although, they carry 50% of this little search. Maybe the flowers remind him of something, more of you Ai… you and I had many memories with the flowers, but for now, continue with the day to day and you will get another clue to find me. Be calm and patient and you will see.

With love: M

Pounding heartbeat Deep, slow breathing. Every day pain when they remember something. The two brothers could not take it anymore, everything they had read about that letter was endless pain for them. The two brothers would touch their heads, one against the other to muffle the pain ... "Will it be eternal?" the two young men thought.

-Yeah… I think she's taken off- Ichigo stuttering, they would still be hitting her head with her sister's.

- Oh! Not yet brother ... stay a little longer. It hurt. - Ai complained.

"Okay, take it easy," Ichigo said.

The hours passed, the night fell silent and the two brothers were like new. The method was always effective, but at a cost of very long waiting time, they had dinner and then they would sit in the large window they always had to see the city from above. But this time the stars stood out much more, leaving Ichigo and Ai a little peace of mind at home and in their hearts… even so, tomorrow was still uncertain as they had no idea how or when that little clue would arrive.

- Do you… do you think that one day we will shine like the stars brother- asked Ai?

"I think we're just humans trying to be like the stars," so Ichigo would give the youngest a light touch on his silky straight hair.

“The coffee smelled really good. The aroma intoxicated Ichigo, since the youngest always made the best coffee you could find in the colony. The two of them had their small coffee business, the two brothers always had a garden where coffee was plentiful. One day you can buy the coffee for only 5 ¥. The cool morning of a Saturday and the two were in the cozy house of always, Ai ate ... but seeing the letter that had so much in his chest since the night before.

- Do you think Mai exists? - Ai asked.

Ichigo thought a lot about it, the youngest almost thought that her eldest never wanted to answer it, but in the end she took courage.

-Of course, Ai, I… I went through that happy flower shop a year ago. I don't remember very well but I do know where we could start- said the older one determined.

The two finished breakfast, got dressed, and left home toward where their feet would lead them. People may ignore them completely, because each person has their own little world where if you look more deeply you might find a little darkness in their hearts, minds and actions that they do. "What could people be afraid of?" that question arose to the eldest within the walk to a place… ”Fear of being alone? To lose hope in something every time? To become a star? Forget who you are? Ichigo still didn't forget who he was, terminal amnesia was destined to forget everything, both his sister and him. Things did not add up from time to time when, even so, it was not a complaint about this but a relief for both of them.

The hours passed and the two found a small flower shop that had the shade of a glittering emerald like a real emerald, the doors with flowers and ... but in the two brothers the feeling of fear invaded them and they only went through that flower shop. They stopped in a small chair and sat down.

- Could you feel it? - Ichigo asked

-Yes… yes, what was that! - Ai exclaimed.

-I don't know, I can be sure of something ... it's ... it's there. That's the flower shop where Mai exists. Ichigo touched his heart without much to say.

The two were speechless, the youngest looked at the small flower shop that would have cost so much to find, but now it would be difficult for them to enter. At that a girl opened the door of the flower shop, the youngest got scared and hid behind the eldest's back. The girl did not see herself, she only took water to water the plants and take a slight breath. Minutes later the girl entered the flower shop and the world followed her rhythm.

-That… was her. - Ichigo looked uncertainly at the flower shop.

-Yes… - Ai whispered.

For the two brothers it was enough for that day, they returned home to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. Now was the time to think of a day to take courage. Courage was something that both of them had a hard time having, and in what time? They never knew. Just a few years after finishing their postgraduate degree in psychology, the two brothers still could not find their answer on how to end their mental illness….

- Let's take courage tomorrow! I know we will make it, isn't it that difficult or is it brother? - Asked in a sarcastic tone the minor.

-I know, I know. It's not difficult, and you're right ... you don't always want to be “brave” every day and in the end you just go through there and don't stay there without doing something. - Ichigo was determined to do the test of courage.

The two hearts were beating hard. Breathing was normal but slow. The two brothers found the courage and courage to have something that could open the padlock that has locked the door of their memories. The tour was barely ending the introduction.
