She was about to tell Sasha how much she appreciated someone remembering that she was still a child when Nina suddenly appeared from the stairs.

“Who's this?” Jaena had always been easily distracted by new things, including fresh faces.

“Oh, she's Kurt's little sister. She just got here. Hey, do you want to play with her, Jaena? I think she could really use a friend.”
