I thought I saw the butterfly
Dance above the field
I thought I glanced the tortoiseshell
Biting at its heels
I heard the eagle give its call
No butterfly to be seen
I thought I had seen a butterfly
That had left me in delight
-Frederica Bernkastel
Prelude
The snow outside reflected sunlight into the classroom. I yawned. Winter had come to Hinamizawa, and when the first flakes had fallen, Rika had unexpectedly started to cry. She wouldn’t tell anyone why she was shedding tears, but I could see that behind the sadness was genuine happiness.
That was two weeks ago. Now, I was sitting around with nothing to do. It was a slow, sleepy day like usual. The door slid open. Rena and Mion, who had better views of the door, looked over and gasped. I couldn’t see what was so startling; it was just Shion. The twin had been gone a lot lately. Not even Mion knew where she had disappeared to so often.
“Come on,” coaxed Shion.
She stepped into class, dragging a blond boy behind her. Silence quickly fell upon us. The boy looked around, puzzled.
My breath caught in my throat when he turned and I got a good look at him. His gaze was startled but fell softly over the room; he locked eyes with me before looking over everyone else. Who is this slender blond who has such soft features and emaciated wrists?
“Nii-nii…” Satoko whispered. She got up, hanging back tentatively. A mix of joy and pain on her face, she rushed forward to embrace him.
Nii-nii? Then, this boy… is Houjou Satoshi…?
Adagio
Class ended and we hung back for club activities. Chie-sensei hadn’t let Satoshi’s arrival interrupt the class for long, though it was obvious that even she was shocked. With time to ourselves now, we were able to pay as much attention as we wanted to him. I hung back since I didn’t really know him; it would be awkward for me to congratulate him on his return. Instead, I just watched him carefully. He was sweet with all of them, listening patiently to what they had to say and responding in kind. Observing his gentle smile, I tried to keep from smiling myself.
I was deep in my thoughts, so I was startled when Satoshi approached me.
“Hello, Keiichi-kun,” my name sounded like honey coming from his lips. “Thank you for taking care of Satoko while I was gone.”
“No problem,” I managed to say.
“You should come join us. We’re about to play Old Man.”
Satoshi took me by the hand. My heart rose up into my throat; the pounding of blood flowing through my veins was loud in my ears. I didn’t want to let go, but I had to. We sat next to each other at the table. Due to our positions, I would be taking cards from him.
Whenever it was my turn to choose a card, Satoshi would smile at me from behind his hand. Cool ni nare, I repeated to myself, cool ni nare. I tried to keep my hands from shaking as much as possible.
“Thanks, Keiichi-kun; I’m out.”
I had taken his last card. It was a final battle between Rena and I, then. She carefully scrutinized the backs of the cards even though this was brand-new deck. I could feel the sweat on my forehead slowly run into my eyes. Making her choice, she damned me with a squeal of joy. I’d lost.
In the end, it was my fate to be the vicim of another punishment game. Somehow, Satoshi was able to come out victorious over everyone, so he would decide what I would have to do. Everyone watched him in anticipation as he mulled over his choices.
“Are you strong, Keiichi-kun?” he asked.
I flinched. What kind of a question was that? He may have just returned so he doesn’t know me very well, but… why a question like that if he wants to know more about me?
“O-of course I am…”
“Well, then, would you please carry me until we need to go in different directions?”
“It’s a punishment game,” I blushed. “You don’t need to ask so politely since I’ll have to do it whether or not I want to.”
What I hoped no one knew was that I did want to do it. He couldn’t know that I felt this way, could he? This punishment was too fortunate for me. I only have to carry him until our paths diverge, but I would gratefully bring him all the way home. It doesn’t matter how far apart our houses are, I would still do it.
“I told you, you should build up some muscle, Kei-chan! Right, Shion?”
“Hau, so adowable…”
“What a bout my piggyback ride?”
“I’ll carry you, Satoko-chan. Nipaa~☆”
I played along with all of their joking, but inside, I felt really jittery. As much as I tried to not let it show, I knew that some of it had to be getting out though my speech and body language. If anyone noticed, they were gracious enough to pretend they saw nothing. At least my pride was still intact, for the most part.
Satoshi made me crouch down in front of him. With his crotch pressed against the small of my back and his arms draped over my shoulders, I lifted him off the ground. He was surprisingly light, much lighter than I expected someone my age to be.
