August 11th, AD 2092 / Okinawa - Airforce base ~ Villa
The two days after that passed by normally.
That person followed
around as always, and I treated him the sa as always. I thought Id try being nicer to my brother. No, I still think so.
I thought that if I did so, sothing might be changed.
But it only served as a constant reminder that habits, once ingrained, cannot be so easily corrected.
Yesterday, and the day before, I again as always, treated him selfishly. There are seven days left of our two week vacation. In those seven days, I will most likely treat him the sa again and again. I cannot overco myself.
If it were one week ago, I wouldnt even have noticed.
Just what is happening to ?
I dont understand myself. I dont understand what it is I desire.
In a state of lancholy, I supposed I had to pass this day as well with such thoughts clouding my mind.
But, happily
saying so may be far too impudent, yet it seed that would no longer be the case
I no longer have the luxury of such thoughts.
Just as I was finishing breakfast, ergency alerts started blaring from all the devices and equipnt around.
The ones issuing the alarm were the ard forces.
In other words, an attack by a foreign power.
I stared intently at the screen, as if to devour it.
"An invasion is underway from the West sea."
"There has been no declaration of war."
"The attack force is a fleet of ballistic missile submarines."
"Currently, they are semi-subrged and are attacking the Kerama Islands."
At that flood of unfamiliar words, panic threatened to overwhelm . The only words which stuck were ballistic missile submarine. Was the submarine we encountered on our cruise a harbinger of this event?
"Please allow
to convey this to Maya-sama as soon as possible!" Sakurai-san could not hide her impatience as she made her request. "Yes, please do."
And as she nodded, neither could Okaa-sama hide her nervousness. I thought, no wonder.
I myself certainly hadnt considered that wed suddenly find ourselves in the middle of a war with no warning.
The TV anchor from earlier was making repeated calls for everyone to please stay calm, although he himself didnt exactly look like a figure of composure either.
Of course. Saying sothing like dont panic in a situation like this is far more ludicrous.
The reason I wasnt truly panicking was because I simply didnt have that sense of reality. I think I saw everything as if it were soone else's problem, and kept myself in a sort of escapism.
Butwhat about this person?
My brother, reading in silence from a small terminal rapidly scrolling with data far more detailed than the TV reports, seed to have misplaced his human emotions such as agitation and tension elsewhere.
In a calm atmosphere, seeming as if considering all this a re intellectual exercise, if soone had called him a complex android I might have even been inclined to agree with them.
Does my brother not feel that this is really happening, the sa as ? Or does he really, simply not feel anything at all?
As I stared, my brother made an oh? face.
Just as I was thinking "what is it?
