Prologue

The elder was a rose that blooms when it snows. The younger was a daffodil that shines in the sun. Kimiko and Kiyoko were twins that held great hidden potential. At the age of four, both twins attended a classical music concert. That was when they heard a certain string instrument played for the first time. Seeing that they were captivated by the violin, their parents put them in lessons. They won duets together in their age selection at local contests. All was well until Kiyoko suddenly surpassed her elder sister in a solo competition. Devastated, Kimiko started to lose the sound of her violin. She finally broke when their parents stopped taking her to competitions.

Their maternal grandparents took custody of Kimiko. They permitted her to change her last name from "Taiyosuisen" to the grandmother's maiden name "Yukibara," and made her the Yukibara heir instead of Kimiko's mother.

When her growing frustration of not "hearing" music as she used to, Kimiko found an old viola in her grandparents' attic. From then on, she discovered that her true love was the viola. Coupled with her great academic ability and her newfound love in athletics, especially tennis, Kimiko grew to be an outstanding violist, student, and tennis player.

Kiyoko, on the other hand, could not believe that her sister left her and their love for the violin. With her deep depression, she dove into drawing and painting, growing in her artistic talents. Along with the violin, she began winning in music and arts competitions, always placing in the top two.

As the years went by, both twins gradually began to forget each other until they were no more than strangers. For Kimiko, Kiyoko was just someone who was a simple artist. For Kiyoko, Kimiko was just cold-hearted genius. But both had a hole in their hearts.

What will happen when the two meet again in their first year of high school?
