The beginning at the end

It's been a while since I've sat down and talked to people my age. In my past life, I was about the same age as the original Koenji when I first appeared, and I spent most of my days attending high society meetings and listening to my father's advice. He is a wise and unambitious man; since assuming the inheritance of his father, my grandfather, our family group has not grown one bit, but surprisingly it has not decreased; his survival skills are commendable and I am sure they will be very useful to me in this school. The first is to never be alone. Two is always better than one, and three is always better than two.

"The wind today is more unpleasant than usual"

Stalker-kun broke the silence that was sown when we sat on that staircase. I made sure to sit two steps above theirs to see them in the same plane. And I agree with him, I feel a strong breeze hitting my back. My long hair is fluttering and hitting my face incessantly; talking is uncomfortable, if I do it many strands would enter my mouth. Therefore, I decided that I am going to talk little and listen more.

"Don't you usually leave your house?"

Lonesome-Kun asked. "I only do it when I need to, and when I want some new game..."

"When is it necessary...?"

"My parents both work all day. They don't have time to pay the bills, buy groceries..."

As he answered, his eyes were saddened. He looked down and was distracted by an insect wandering around the empty step in the middle.

"Do you only play while your parents are away?"

Solitaire-kun put his hand on his man and gave him an understanding look. Maybe it was a sign that he won't be so lonely anymore.

"I pay the bills too"

"it's true"

"What did you do while you were at home?"

"I used to be in the zoology club. I spent my afternoons in the garden researching insects and birds. I really like nature. Do you think this school has a zoology club?"

He looked at me and I asked myself the same question. I had never heard of people meeting to research insects on high school breaks and at home.

"Does this insect have a name?"

I pointed out the bug that Stalker-kun looked at recently.

"It's a very common species in Japan. Farmers usually call it Runia. its parents leave it to it fate it first week of life. Then, they come back and if it's dead, they devour it; if it's alive, they invite it to join the family.

"How will it eat if his parents don't take care of?"

I asked.

"Its body is internally gelatinous and very hard externally, so the insects that feed on it usually swallow it whole and alive. Then it, inside its stomach, will eat the insect's nutrients like a parasite until it grows up and can devour its host's organs."

"Oh! I'd be a good character for an MMROPG."

"Is that the kind of game you like?"

"Yes, I'm a miner and I collect metals to sell them on the market. I've made a lot of money selling hard-to-get minerals. Once I watched a secret, empty, super-dark gold vein for four hours."

"That's a long time..."

Lonesome-Kun was surprised at his dedication. He couldn't conceive of spending so much time in front of a computer. It's only natural. He likes being outside, and Stalker-kun prefers enclosed spaces. What would I choose if I had to?

"You haven't told us anything about yourself"

"You proved to be bold in your presentations. Do you come from any important family?"

That's right. I have not talked about me.

"We can't contact the outside. Does my family background matter? Let's live our present with those next to us. From today, until we graduate, you two will be my family. What do you think?"

Suddenly, the two of them burst out in laughing, in fact they didn't expect me to say that. They're still laughing. They're having fun. I don't think they'll reject my proposal. Today, those words seem silly, but in a few months they'll realize their true meaning.

"Let's be family then"

"We will do many things together"

Yes, we'll do a lot of things together, I have no doubt about that...
