Chapter 110: Loyalty

Thunder was born a few minutes before Chiara, so she calls him her older brother even though they're twins-a fraternal pair.

Her eyes were already welling up, though she was trying hard not to cry in front of her brother.

"Chiara, listen," I said, cupping her cheeks. "Do you see your brother's hair? If it falls out, you'll lose a brother."

"Will he disappear? That's great!"

I froze, unable to react. Is this how my past haunts me?

They were playing while I sat on the couch, resting for a bit. I hadn't had much sleep-just a short nap before coming here. But I don't mind sacrificing sleep if it means I get to see them.
