Elena Dragunov | May 31st Sun | Warakuma Recreational Center


It was a good day to spend relaxing after toiling so hard the whole month leading up to midterms. She as usual, had finished at top of her year and had learned from Inoue that her brother hadn't done too shabby either despite spending so little time revising and going over material over the summer. 

She began paddling in the pool as she thought about her brother, her thoughts always seemed to tense her up whenever her brother was involved. It was more than awe, almost idolatry. In her mind's eye Alexei was this infallible, uncompromising badass that could move mountains to make his family happy. While he fussed over giving her the best he could so she could have a 'balanced' growth, she wondered how brilliant he'd be given a chance to truly shine. 

She pushed out the thoughts and concentrated on completing a few lengths, she was a natural fish. Sleek and speedy in the water, her school had propositioned for her to join the swimming team but she had declined. Her schedule didn't allow it and she'd avoid any trouble she can put on her elder brother.

As she came out of the pool drying her hair she caught a familiar sight. Waving in enthusiasm and neglecting that the party was already engaged in conversation with someone she shouted [color=f49ac2][b]"Otonashiii-saaan!!"[/b][/color], waving along furiously to catch the attention of the older girl. She wrapped the towel around her waist and redoubled her efforts with another call. 

Meanwhile, the phone buzzed in her bag. It was a ping from Alexei, directing her to head to the hospital.
