"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

Quote By: Albert Einstein.

-Third's Pov-

Osomatsu started walking back home with a cheeky grin on his face. Reason why? Because he had won some panchiko money. He couldn't wait to rub it in his brothers' faces when he gets there.

As soon as he got home, he slides the door open to see all of his brothers together at the table.

Ichimatsu: Tch. The shitty eldest is home.

Osomatsu grins some more.

Osomatsu: Yep. I'm home!

Jyushimatsu: Welcome home Nii-san!

Karamatsu: Heh. Hello dear Aniki.

Choromatsu and Todomatsu were too busy to notice him. Mainly because Choromatsu was looking at newspaper for jobs and Totty (Todomatsu) was on his phone.

Osomatsu: Guess what guys!

Choromatsu looks up from his newspaper and raise an eyebrow.

Choromatsu: What? You found a job yet?

Osomatsu grins even more.

Osomatsu: Nope~! Your Onii-chan here got some money he won from a gambling bet~! It was almost too easy!!

Todomatsu:...Uh-huh. That's great Nii-san...

Sounds like Totty didn't care at all because Osomatsu pouted.

Choromatsu: It would've been better if you would've just found a job.

Osomatsu grumbles a bit.

Osomatsu: Ya know. I really hate that side of you.

Choromatsu: N-Nani?! Why would you say that?!

Todomatsu: I once work for a while...

The other brothers sweatdropped.

"TOTTY!" They all said...

Todomatsu then gave them the "Totty" face.

Todomatsu: And I'll never do that again! The last thing I need is you useless older brothers ruining everything for me.

Karamatsu: But dear Totty, how can you say such a horrible thing~?

Todomatsu looked at him with disgust.

Todomatsu: PAINFUL.

Ichimatsu: Tch. Agree. It would be better if Shittymatsu would just shut up.

Karamatsu looked closed to crying underneath those sunglasses of his. But none of the brothers cared. They ignored him as usual.

This was how they treat each other and they wasn't gonna change it anytime soon.

The living room went silent as the brothers were left to their devices.

Choromatsu went back to his newspapers. Todomatsu started texting his friends. Karamatsu went to go stare into his mirror and mumbled something about "Meeting his Karamatsu girls later". Jyushimatsu continued running around like a jumping bean. Ichimatsu was playing with his cats.

And Osomatsu...Well...

Osomatsu: So...I'm bored. What are we eating tonight?

Choromatsu: Didn't you see that pot on the table? The food inside is what we eating. Mom cooked it for us.

Osomatsu: Oh! Cool!

The brownish pot was on the table like Choromatsu said. How come he didn't see it before?

He shrugs and opens up the pot from it's lid and saw what was inside...

B. L. O. W. F. I. S. H.

Osomatsu stared at the dish as his brothers watched him. Then all of sudden, the blowfish meal begins to turned black which started to make Osomatsu feel sick to his stomach.

He back away in horror and put an hand on his mouth as if he looked like he was about to barf.

Then he looked up to his brothers.

They no longer looked the same.

They were all in front of him staring at him with same emotionless
expression and they're bodies along with their clothes looked gray instead of showing their usual colors. Their colored jackets were replaced with the clothing that they used to wore when they were kids.

Osomatsu: (W-What the hell?) G-Guys...Is something wrong?

He was met with silence as none of the brothers spoke...

Then they vanished.

So did the living room.

Osomatsu couldn't believe what he was seeing.

All he could see now...was darkness.

Child Osomatsu reveal himself again as he stared up to his adult self.

Child Oso: Wake up...You're living a dream...It's time to face reality...
