<div class="title">Dear Sister</div> Your sister went missing four years ago. You investigated her disappearance, but to no avail, you found nothing — no traces, no clues. She disappeared like a ghost. You start to think she is just a figment of your imagination, but then you receive a letter from her. <center><<if $letter10 == true>> <<button "Wait for Her" "Start">> <</button>> <<else>> <<button "Find Her" "Start">> <</button>><</if>> </center> ''Save Warning:'' Your save file is stored in your browser's storage.

<div class="title">Dear Sister</div>

<<if $letter10 == true>> Today is another day. You are home from your work, alone in this lone humble abode. A sigh leaves your mouth as you drop your bag to a corner. Your body follows, but to a nearby couch. You bounce from the momentum, the cushion bouncy. You lay down. Your body sinks within, eating you in like a quicksand. You look up, eyeslashes fluttering slowly, until you stop blinking. Your chest heaves as you take deep breaths, emptying your mind before it consumes you. You turn to your side, eyes now open. Your sister would be laying down there, mostly occupying the couch with barely any space for you left. Her head laid down on the cushioned arm of the couch. Her phone in horizontal, grasped in both side. She's playing another game of hers. Sometimes you thought about buying another sofa, one each for both of you. She's getting taller, but she would never reach past your ears. She would always be your //little// sister. Emphasis on the word, little. You begrudgingly pull yourself up from the comfort of the cushioned seat that slowly hypnotizes you into daydreaming before a meal. You amble to the kitchen, greeted by the mountainous dishes on the sink. You turn back to the sofa. You would remind your sister about it, and she would groan aloud instead of telling you she doesn't want to do it. Despite her wordless, but soundly protest, she begrudgingly pulled herself up from the comfort of the same cushioned haven you were in. She tramped towards the sink, passing you. She began washing the dishes. You were afraid that a broken dish would be the result for disturbing her from her beloved games, surprisingly, despite her reluctance, she professionally finished it without an accident. She's a true expert in dishwashing. That's exactly why it's her job between you two. Kidding aside, it's only you and the mountainous dishes now. No one to remind to, and no one to hear a loud groan instead of a verbal straightforward protest from. You have always been a clean freak, so seeing this mountainous dishes is getting in your nerves, and you're not eating until it's gone. Your mind might only be exaggerating its amount. How did you not wash this earlier anyway? Ah, right. you were in hurry. //*squish, squash, squish*// That has been taken care of, sparkling clean, even the sink, the counter, the microwave— ah, you overdid it again. Your sister would pass by and remind you not to overdo it, else you would be bedridden sick after. But she isn't here to remind you about that anymore. You let out a dramatic sigh. Enough of this sob flashbacks. You have to get yourself together. Is she even real? Or are you this lonely? That you're starting to imagine you had a sister, that you're starting to miss what you never had. You look around the room, even to the other rooms. She vanished without a trace. One towel, one pair of slippers, one toothbrush. You do have more than two mugs. She has gone with the wind, or perhaps she never breathed the same air as you. //*ding dong*// You have to eat. Your hunger is turning you crazy. But you shouldn't keep your guest waiting. You also have to thank them for snapping you from your delirium. You stride to the door, and as you open the door, you are greeted by the brightest smile of your friend, a letter in hand. Your mouth tilts slightly up at the corner, knowing it's another letter from your sister. You accept the letter, excited to tear it open and read the content, but you put your attention back to your friend who's still standing by the outside of your abode. You offer to let him in, but he shakes his head sagely, saying his job there is done and walks away giddily. You look back at the letter, and it does say that it's... <center><<button "from your sister." "Home">> <</button>></center> <<else>> Today is another day.

However, as you open, there is nobody but the wind. Did your sister come to visit and fright you? You think it was just a child trying to prank you, until you find a letter on the ground. You turn it around, and your sister did come to visit. The letter says that it's... <center><<button "from your sister." "Prologue">> <</button>></center><</if>>

You quickly snap your neck left and right, hoping to finally see this sister haunting your mind. But you find no one — no one familiar to you. There are two people walking in opposite direction from each other in the sidewalk. <div id="choices">\ <<link "Approach the one heading right">> <<replace "#choices">> You stride to the one heading right, clasping their shoulder. They turn to you, startled. It's a man. You should've guessed it's not your sister, considering he looks taller than you remember her. You voice out your apology repeatedly, stepping away. You rush back to your house, escaping the embarrassing moment you have brought yourself into from your impulsiveness. Your back leans on the door, lungs longing for air. You catch up your breath as your knees slowly bend, and your arse slowly meets the floor. You palm your head with both hands. That's when a crunch reminds you of the letter's existence. You stare at it. You almost squeezed it. You neat it up, tear it open, and peruse the words written for you. <center> <<button "Read" "The Letter">> <</button>> </center> <</replace>> <</link>> <<link "Approach the one heading left">> <<replace "#choices">> You stride to the one heading left, clasping their shoulder.

You rush back to your house, escaping the embarrassing moment you have brought yourself into from your impulsiveness. Your back leans on the door, lungs longing for air. You catch up your breath as your knees slowly bend, and your arse slowly meets the floor. You palm your head with both hands. That's when a crunch reminds you of the letter's existence.

<<switch visited()>> <<case 1>> <<case 2>> <</switch>> You are in the living room. The couch where your sister would greedily take most of the space sits gloomily. [[Go Outside|Frontyard]] A doorless opening leads to a room where you would find a mountainous dishes to remind your sister about, however it's sparkling clean right now. [[Go to Kitchen|Kitchen]] There's a small hall leading to the toilet, your room, and a vacant room turned into a storage room. That was where your sister used to reside. [[Go to Toilet|Toilet]] [[Go to Your Room|Your Room]] [[Go to Storage Room|Storage Room]] <<set $currentPassage to "unlockmenu">>

You are in front of the house. The sidewalk greets you with its bleak grayness. Little to no passerbys walk by. [[Go Home|Home]] [[Go Left|Left Street]] [[Go Right|Right Street]]

You are in the kitchen, where it bubbles and boils, and mixes all day. It is the pot's best friend. What can it say? [[Search Kitchen]] [[Go to Living Room|Home]] There is a backdoor leading to an improvised garden of vegetables. [[Go to Garden|Backyard]]

You're in the toilet, where a bathroom is connected to. <<switch visited()>> <<case 1>> You would ask your sister to take a bath with you. She used to be reluctant to. Mostly because she doesn't like taking a bath. However, recently before she disappeared, she's been willing to. You'd ask her to wash each other's back. You miss those times. <<case 2>> Speaking of her reluctance in taking a bath, she stinks whenever she gets near you. You would chastise her, and she would groan about it. But she would try to take a bath for you eventually, but it's more for herself. <<case 3>> There was this time where her hair became a horrendous chaotic tangle. You helped her fix and loosen it. It took so long, and you used a lot of conditioner for it. You felt bad for her, but it was kind of fun in a way that you two got to bond because of it. <<case 4>> She wanted her hair long, despite her reluctance in taking good care of it. Her hair would often get in your face, annoying you. You'd tell her off, threatening her jokingly about cutting her hair. She'd panic and get it off you, but she would never cut it off. You encouraged her that a short hair would look good on her, but she was firm to her preference. <<default>> This place is filled with memories of her. <</switch>> [[Step Out|Home]]

You are in your room. It's just an average bedroom. You have your bed, a desk with a chair adjacent to it, cabinets, and many more. It is decorated in a way you like. [[Step Out|Home]] [[Check Letters|Letters]]

This room is overfilled with things yet unused, too used, or broken. It's like a junkyard, but in a room, or a room where hoarders pile their treasures into a mountain. It depends which way you look at it from. Your sister used to reside here. [[Step Out|Home]]

You find yourself in the West Street. [[Go Back|Frontyard]] Without having to cross any roads, a gym is accessible within a brisk walk. [[Go There|Gym]] Past a road, there is a park at the center, surrounded with roads, forming a square of a park. [[Go There|Park]] Passing a road after another, further and across the park, is a wide campus, its building looming tall from afar. [[Go There|Campus]]

You are in the East Street. [[Go Back|Frontyard]] Your workplace is here. You only work till afternoon before dusk, but you are always welcome to come over. [[Enter|Office]] The marketplace can be found here. It is bustling with people whether in weekends or weekdays. [[Enter|Marketplace]] There is a popular restaurant just over there, a cross a road away. [[Go There|Restaurant]]

<<if $letter1 == true>> You searched for the letter, but it doesn't seem to be in here. Are you sure this is the right place? <<else>> What are you looking for in here? <</if>> [[Step Back|Kitchen]]

But I remember having to save the egg shells, clean them, and smash them into pieces to be used as the plants' fertilizer.. or something. Stepdad let me do that before too.

We didn't hear much from them before, and only now did I hear a lot from mom, which I wish I heard before, so I can ask the side of story of dad. Anyway, you're just getting started. Go to Clue 1.

I have a good news! I want to take Literature as my course in college. I can't wait to go back to school and finish where I left off. I am quite nervous, but excited at the same time. I somehow miss my school days. I would daydream and dream about it. I'm scared, but I want to move forward. Weren't for your understanding, patience and unwavering and unconditional support, I wouldn't be here right now. So I thank you profusely. I have always been wondering what to do after that — where should I work and what do I do? Recently, I have thought of that. Thanks to that time when mom and I went out to meet one of her batchmates, which was also our grandmother's student. He told me about grandma, how she taught, how she was, and what helped and inspired him. It also inspired me. Truthfully speaking, I have been receiving praises about my teaching skills. I might've inherited it from grandma. But I am not confident about it. I have fears and insecurities. What if I will fail? What if I inconvenience others? What if I'm actually not good at it? What if they were just being nice? So many doubts and what ifs. But I want to try. Teaching in kindergarten, elementary or highschool requires a separate course, so I thought why not teach in college? I don't really have much experience nor knowledge about college yet. I only ever heard about it from others. I will know if I really want to teach there someday once I step a foot there. I have Plan B anyway! Before that I have thought of working in art galleries, museums or publishing houses. It's scary. I know so little about career life. It's just a plan though. Things might not go the way I thought of, but that's alright. As long as we're alright by the end of it. I just want to reassure myself about the future, even if it isn't fixed. I get so scared about the unknown. I am ever so cautious, so I'm trying to be prepared as possible. It was nice to see mom reunite with her peers and enjoy, and I enjoyed hearing their stories too.

But now that she's not around, you're the one who took her place in telling me to just try it before I judge, else I will never know how it tastes as mom added. Thank you for your guidance. Your words serve as a guidance to my everyday life. You've taught me a lot of things in life that I kept in mind subconsciously. Sometimes I wonder where part of my personality comes from. It appears that you are a big factor to my character. Thank you, sister, for being a great sister to me. I wish I can repay you.

// <div class="sig">"Dear Sister,</div> Thank you for being ever so understanding to me before until now. I have a good news! I want to take Literature as my course in college. I can't wait to go back to school and finish where I left off. I am quite nervous, but excited at the same time. I somehow miss my school days. I would daydream and dream about it. I'm scared, but I want to move forward. Weren't for your understanding, patience and unwavering and unconditional support, I wouldn't be here right now. So I thank you profusely. I have always been wondering what to do after that — where should I work and what do I do? Recently, I have thought of that. Thanks to that time when mom and I went out to meet one of her batchmates, which was also our grandmother's student. He told me about grandma, how she taught, how she was, and what helped and inspired him. It also inspired me. Truthfully speaking, I have been receiving praises about my teaching skills. I might've inherited it from grandma. But I am not confident about it. I have fears and insecurities. What if I will fail? What if I inconvenience others? What if I'm actually not good at it? What if they were just being nice? So many doubts and what ifs. But I want to try. Teaching in kindergarten, elementary or highschool requires a separate course, so I thought why not teach in college? I don't really have much experience nor knowledge about college yet. I only ever heard about it from others. I will know if I really want to teach there someday once I step a foot there. I have Plan B anyway! Before that I have thought of working in art galleries, museums or publishing houses. It's scary. I know so little about career life. It's just a plan though. Things might not go the way I thought of, but that's alright. As long as we're alright by the end of it. I just want to reassure myself about the future, even if it isn't fixed. I get so scared about the unknown. I am ever so cautious, so I'm trying to be prepared as possible. It was nice to see mom reunite with her peers and enjoy, and I enjoyed hearing their stories too. The next letter will be in Clue 1. Clue 1: I am a bustle of trade and sound; where shoppers bargain and goods abound. Continue this tomorrow! Good night! Love you!

"How do you know my sister?" "You used my phone to contact her before, when you got your phone deadbat. She contacted me again through it. She told me about her plans for your birthday, and if I can help her with it. It intrigued me, and I had time to pass, so why not?" He shrugs nonchalantly. "Happy birthday, by the way." He smiles. <<if $Q1 == true>> <<else>> <<link "• Are you the one who hid those letters?" "Q1">> <</link>> <</if>> <<if $Q2 == true>> <<else>> <<link "• Are those letters really from my sister?"

"How did you hide the letters?" "For the first letter, I was the one who knocked at your door and left the letter as I sprint away as fast as I can." He explains rather sheepishly. You can imagine him actually running for his life for the mysterious vibe to be achieved, and you can't help but chuckle. "For the second letter, I left it there when I had the chance to enter your house before. Hoping you wouldn't find it before I give you the first letter." He sighs in relief. "For the rest of the letters, I had to follow you around to leave them in their place in the right order." "You stalker," you tease, nudging him. He chuckles sheepishly. "So I take that you're the one who left it in the marketplace too?" You ask, and he nods in confirmation. "It does make sense that you can leave it in that restaurant's kitchen, because we used to work there together." He nods twice, somehow proud of what he has done, and you congratulate him for succeeding. "I wanted you to have a great day too." <<if $Q1 == true>> <<else>> <<link "• Are you the one who hid those letters?"

"How did you two do this?" "Well, she told me she wants to make something like a treasure hunt that wouldn't take too much of your time, because she wants to consider how busy you can be," he explains. "She made the letters and sent it to me in pdf, and I printed it here and prepared it. She paid for it, of course, but the //labor//." "Oh, you want to get paid?" You tease. "Nah, no need." He grins. "How magnanimous of you!" And you both giggle. <<if $Q1 == true>> <<else>> <<link "• Are you the one who hid those letters?"

That explains everything. You feel lighter after the revelation. You take out your phone to chat your sister. Your sister didn't disappear, you did. You got too busy, and this is her way of reaching out to you again.
