[Oof. Uh. How does he bring up Harque without crying?]
...Harque was supposed to become the next Moon Master. It'sā it's something important for where I'm from, basically. [In short terms.] But he couldn't use one half of the required magic, while I could, even as a child.
Because it was so important to my family for him to get this position, they worked him half to death. Twelve-hour long days, a rigid schedule, yelling their heads off if he so much as visited me. They always thought he was inadequate and that... that, I don't know, turning every day of his life into a living hell was going to fix their perceptions of him.
I was the "unwanted child". Apparently I was always the reason Harque never "did anything right" or whatever they were always on about. We're thirteen years apart ā I was five when he died. My parents never took care of me, so he tried to, but he'd get shouted at when he did.
Well then, Harque discovered time magic ā totally out of scope for what he was supposed to be doing, but impressive enough to earn him the title of Master. Or so you'd think, except some cult called Henir's Order came in and assassinated him for it.
So. Because of my parents, I didn't really get to know my brother all that well, and because of the Order, I'll never get the chance to.
[It's... probably obvious by now why Noah took Mafuyu's words so hard.]
