Note: This chapter is inspired by Hamilton's Congratulations and Burn, with a little drop and Helpless and Satisfied. Ayano will play the role as your sister and Senpai is your husband.

Congratulations

You bit your lip, feeling stressed from all the news that has been going around. Taro had committed an affair with Megami. You pursued your lips, holding your whimpers in your mouth. You clutched your blanket roughly close to your chest, sobbing your heart out.

The letters from Kencho Saikou was sprawled on the floor, where Taro's torn letter lay along with it. With all the letter that he wrote you, you were sure that he was meant to be yours. You were re-reading all of the words  of each sentences and paragraphs, and all of them were sincere. At least, they all seem to be.

The door of your room burst open, and there stood your older sister, Ayano. "I came as soon as I heard." She said, flipping the light switch. You winced at the light, then pulled your blanket over your head. "Are you okay?" She asked, sitting by the stool that is close to your bed side.
She heard you sniffing and sobbing.

"Where's Natsuki?" You croaked. Natsuki was your nineteen year old son, who had just recently visited you because of his time in college.

"He's in Shisuta town, studying." Ayano sighs, stroking your forehead underneath the blanket. "Y/N... I know it's hard for you. But you don't need to neglect your health." She comforted.

You burst into tears, pouncing yourself on Ayano, wrapping your arms around her neck. Hanako, your sister-in-law, came into the room with tear stained cheeks. You perked your head up when you saw her. She burst into tears then joined the hug.

"I'm sorry about my brother... I should have convinced him to take a break from his office." Hanako sobbed.

"You have married to an Icarus... He had flew too close to the sun." Ayano comforted.

"Is this necessary?" You asked.

"Yes. We don't want you to neglect your health. We want you to relax." Ayano said, giving the gumballs to her twenty one year old daughter named Amane Najimi. Ayano was married to Osano Najimi, Taro's childhood friend, who sadly, left the world.

"I don't see why going to public without a single disguise will help me. The Saikou Pamphlet Controversy has brought shame to out family." You sighed.

"Mom, please don't think like that." Your youngest daughter at the age of fourteen years old said. You named her Akise because she was born during winter.

"Yes. And besides, people like them should keep their filthy opinions to their selves." Hanako smiled.

"Mom's actually correct, auntie." Hana, Hanako's fifteen year old daughter, said. Hanako is happily married to Budo Masuta. He is utterly loyal to her.

You smiled at them, then looked around. All people eyes were on you and your daughter. You frowned and looked down. Some of them taunted you, whispered nasty things about you. Mostly was the affair. The controversy.

You heard a scoffed, "Y/N Yamada is not good enough?" A woman mocked as they walked passed you.

"YOU SHUT UP OR I'LL HAVE YOUR HEAD ON A SPIKE AS I WAVE IT IN FRONT OF YOUR WEEPING MOTHER!" Akise took a hold of the woman's collar, shaking her violently.

"Akise!" You took her, then hugged her close to yourself. Ayano looked down, clenching her fists.

Taro tiredly sighed, signing his usual stack of paper work, when the door opened. He looked up and smiled. "Ayano..." He stood from his seat, then greeted Ayano with a hug.

"Dear Taro~" Ayano sweetly said, but then shoved a letter to his chest stopping him from making a physical contact with her. "Congratulations." She sarcastically said.

"You have invented a new kind of stupid," Ayano stepped to the side, and began walking to his desk. "'A damage you can never undo' kind of stupid. And 'open all the cages' in the zoo!', kind of stupid. 'Truly, you didn't think this through?' kind of stupid." She taunts.

She sat on Taro's table, taking a two copy of letters of the Saikou Pamphlet Controversy from the stack of papers. "Let's review," she held the paper in front of her face, covering her sight away from Taro. "You took a rumor, a few maybe two people and refuted it by sharing an affair in which no one has accused you." Ayano tore the letter into two, seeing the dumbfounded Taro.

She got off the table, then pointed Taro with an accusing finger. "We begged for you to take a break, you refused to." She walked towards him, as he walked backwards. "So scared of what your enemies will do to you. YOU'RE the only enemy you ever seem to loose to! You know why Saikou can do what he wants? He doesn't dignify school-yard taunts with a response! So yeah! Congratulations!" Ayano yelled at him, turning her back at him.

"Ayano..." Taro called out.

"You've redefined your legacy! Congratulations!" Ayano cuts off, folding her arms behind her back formally.

"It was an act of political sacrifice!" Taro protested. Ayano weakly smiled.

"So you want to talk about sacrifices?" She weakly smiled, looking at the wedding photo of Y/N and Taro, with her being the maid of honor. She remembered the day when she and her sister's first day in school in Akademi. She saw how Y/N have fallen in love with Taro. As much as she loves Taro, that she will kill for him, she likes her sister to be happy instead. She let her win his heart in the course of time.

She watched her confess to the cherry blossom tree by the back of the school on a Friday afternoon. As much as Ayano was happy for you, she felt devastated for her own. She wanted Taro to herself, but she wanted you to be more happy. She gave him up just for you.

"I languished in a longing love in Shisuta and live to only read your texts. I look at you and think 'God what have we done with our lives and what did it get us?' But that doesn't wipe the tears or the years away, and back in this city and I'm hear to stay. And you know what I'm hear to do???" Ayano questioned.

"Ayano..." Taro said, attempting to put a comforting hand over Ayano's shoulder, when she took it and pushed it away.

"I'm not hear for you..." She mumbled. "I know my sister like my own mind! You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind! And a million years ago she said to me 'this one's mine'... So I stood by..." Ayano wiped the stray tears away from her eyes, only to be replaced. She took a hold of Taro's collar. He flinched, terrified of what Ayano is capable of. "DO YOU KNOW WHY?"

"I LOVE MY SISTER MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS LIFE!" She shoved him away roughly, clutching her aching head. "I WILL CHOOSE HER HAPPINESS OVER MINE, ANY TIME! Y/N!!!"

"Y/N..." Taro whispers to himself. He then felt his collar being clutched once again, but he didn't flinched. He deserves it anyway.

"Is the best thing in our lives! So never lose of the fact that you have been blessed with the best wife!" She shoved him away. "Congratulations!" She walked to his desk, then carried the stack of papers he tpjad been working on. "For the rest of your life! Every sacrifice you make is for my sister, give her the best life!" She threw the paper works in the air, then opened the door.

She faced him with a teary smile. "CONGRATULATIONS!" She yells, then slammed the door closed. Taro collapsed on the floor, picking up the letter he was meant to send you. He then saw the picture frame of you, his daughter Akise and his son Natsuki. He was smiling there with you. He wiped his tears away and hugged the picture frame, sobbing his heart out.

"Natsuki Yamada's dad is a cheater. Like, oh my God." Natsuki heard his female classmate gossiping. He sighed, then wrote a poem.

"His mom is an idiot too. Have you seen her sister? I think she's a psycho. I mean, I heard that she choked her bullies until they blacked out. Rumors said that the bullies died..."

"I know right? Their family is weird! Look at him! He looks soulless and dull! No wonder no one likes him! Well, except for that weirdo named Monika Soma!" Natsuki heard.

"Ugh, yeah. I am so disgusted by that bitch. I mean, look at her. She has those big ass boobs that are totally fake! Not to mention, her mom use to sleep with guys for money. Like mother like daughter, they are both gold diggers!" The girl giggled.

"Back to that weirdo, their family is a bunch of freaks." Natsuki snapped back to his reality when he heard and felt his pencil break in half. He clenched his fist, as he heard more of their conversation. He slammed his fist on his desk, finally silencing both of the obnoxiously irritated and loud mouths of the girls. "Shut up, or I'll tear your tongues out, you filthy bitches."

The both of the girls scrambled out of the classroom, trembling violently. From here, he is determined to face Kencho's son, who is also involved with the Pamphlet.
