I returned to the house where my sister and I used to live.

The furnishings remained the same, but everything else has changed.

Sitting on the small stool from before, I seemed to see my sister.

She was wearing a simple dress, fair and slender, with a gentle smile in her eyes.

"Ranran, you picked the most beautiful necklace."

"Ranran got into university, remember to take me to climb the Great Wall and eat roast duck."

"Having such a wonderful younger sister, I'm really lucky."

...

Tears slid down from the corners of my eyes. I wiped them away with a smile and walked towards the window bathed in moonlight.

When I was a child, my sister taught me to recite poems.

"The river and sky blend as one, with a bright solitary moon.

Who was the first to witness the moon by the river? When did the moon first shine on humans?"

She said the moon had witnessed countless years passing over the rivers, yet it still gazed gently upon the mortal world.

But she was always the brightest moon.

She illuminated countless faint stars, yet in her prime, she fell silently alone.

I walked to the edge of the window, gazing at the boundless night as I slowly closed my eyes.

Sister, the moon tonight is beautiful.

I thought of you.

I'm sorry I didn't listen to you and be a good and kind child.

If you're unhappy—

Let me come find you and apologize to you in person.
