I thought about for a while whose life really would have been different, very different if they'd had a sibling. I almost did Hotaru but there are a bunch of other themes I want to do for her and I'm not the most comfortable with that character, so it ended up Makoto.

“No, I’m sorry but that’s impossible.”
“But…”
“Makoto, I understand wanting to stay in your parents’ home where you’re comfortable and you could, they left you a great deal of money. But while you are ten, your brother is only six. He cannot live on his own and while you claim to be capable of supporting yourself, you are not able to also raise him.”
“So we have to go to the orphanage.”
“The home. There there will be adults to look after you and Daisuke and there will be other children so you’ll be less lonely than you would have been.”
“We wouldn’t have been lonely. Daisuke and I have each other.”
