Round Five - Nakamura

Hanako's death had left the whole Nakamura family devastated but they were beginning to get back to normal. Sachiko resumed her usual routine of spending all day in her nightdress while talking to friends on the phone.


She'd spent her share of the money Hanako left the family on a luxury chess set. Despite her playful nature she was a natural at this game of strategy and cunning. The rest of the family couldn't hope to beat her.


Hiro's social life was bustling. He often sneaked out with his best friend Danny Knox, which was how he met Destiny. They hit it off instantly.


They decided to take the plunge from platonic friends to something more. Hiro had a little bit of experience with kissing, but this was Destiny's first ever kiss and they nearly made a complete mess of the whole thing.

"Ow! Destiny, that was my nose!"


Thankfully it didn't take her long to get the hang of it.


Life wasn't all make-out sessions and outings with friends for Hiro. He was working on his dream to become a world-famous sports star which required dedication to his fitness regime. He was getting extremely good at yoga and could contort himself into positions no human body should ever have to be in.


Junko bonded with Noah Knox over recent losses, discussing the likelihood of them perhaps seeing Hanako and Cassius's ghosts someday.


But their easy childhood years couldn't last forever. The twins hit puberty and became even more different than before. Junko wanted to be just like her mother, although definitely with fewer babies - she didn't have any career aspirations at all, she just wanted to hang around the house and make as many friends as possible. She was determined to have fun.


Yuki was much more serious. She did want a career and all the attendant wealth, and most of all she wanted to be able to afford a house, not be stuck at home or in a cramped little apartment down town. She wasn't as sociable as her sisters or brother, keeping out of everyone's way while she read and studied.


Despite their differences the twins still got on well. They were like day and night, said Nobuo in an uncharacteristic display of poetic license - opposites but essential to one another.


Note: Hooray for physiology! Hiro's skill is totally maxed already, hence the extreme yoga. The twins turned out pretty, Junko looks like her mother facial-features wise whereas Yuki favours her father.
