Yuna was Hayden's little sister, but honestly, she was more like his kid since he pretty much raised her.

Their bond was so strong, it made sense why someone as tough as Hayden got all protective and worried when it came to her.

Yuna shared a bunch of stories about them, like how Hayden built this courtyard himself, brick by brick.

She also mentioned how he used to take her fishing and grill the fish, always bragging that his cooking was top-tier-he'd perfected it just to make sure she ate well.

As Yuna shared more stories, I started to understand Hayden better-like, in a way that really tugged at my heart.

All his little quirks came from carrying the weight of responsibility and loneliness for so long.

Yuna eventually drifted off mid-conversation. Watching her sleep, I suddenly had the urge to call Hayden, to tell him that from now on, I'd take care of him for a change, instead of him always looking out for everyone else. But the feeling passed, and I didn't follow through.

Instead of calling Hayden, I dialed Lena.
