The Interlude of a Certain Brother and Sister B.

And so the brother was left alone.

Before him was a small grave where his little sister was buried. He collapsed onto it, grabbing it, unwilling to let go, waiting for his moment of death to come. He wanted to be buried next to the grave.

But it was not to be.

By chance, the brother was picked up by passing travelers. They were an elderly couple who saw their own deceased child in the brother, and gave him bread and water.

In a daze, the brother received that aid. His mind was hurting, but his young body healed quickly and regained its color as soon as it received nourishment.

When he was completely healthy again, he finally realized that he had survived. The death that had been so close to him was now far away.

The brother survived. But by that time, there was nothing left to keep him alive. The dreams and joys of the future that had driven him when he was living in the city were of no use at this point. His body was getting healthier with each passing day, but his spirit was stagnating and rotting away.

The brother wanted to die.

But he did not die.

He found it weird, and wondered why he could not kill himself. He wondered, is there anything I have left to do?

He thought about it. Usually, what came to mind was the last night he spent with his sister. She said she wanted to eat her mother’s stew, and then she said she did want to eat anymore. She said she wanted to see her father, she said she wanted to see her friends.

He remembered that her sister said she wanted to go to heaven.

Remembering this, the brother got up and went to the couple.

Thank you for caring for me. He said.

Aren’t you coming with us? the couple asked.

The brother shook his head. He had a place he had to go.

Where is it? the couple asked.

Heaven. The brother answered. He decided to go to the place where his sister wanted to go.

That’s great. The couple replied, Then you shall not follow us, but we shall follow you instead.

And so they set out for heaven.
