room. Duty called to her. "I'm sorry," she probably just whispered, and pressed a kiss on her brother's forehead. "Don't take that long anymore, you have to get up tomorrow morning"
"You too," and with that he held her hand. "I don't want anything to happen to you" pleadingly looked into her eyes. It hurt his soul every time he knew she had to go. That she had to take care of the mother. Sayuri must have inherited this kindness from her too, but suddenly so much has changed since her father passed away. He wanted the past back. He bit his lower lip so as not to have to sob.
"Everything will be fine," she promised him. And only half a minute later he was alone with Kyo in his room. He didn't like it, but he had to put up with it. There was nothing he could do about it.He didn't want to get up from his bed, just reached into the drawer next to him.
"Here Kyo ... for you", and with that the little animal was given a few treats, which it accepted benevolently. It looked cute how he ate it all. He took the drop between his paws, turned it around a few times before it was gnawed at. The boy chuckled and watched the goings-on. Kyo was arguably one of the few reasons that kept him alive. Which even now made it pleasant for him to walk on, as stony as the path might be. He was strong and didn't need anyone to prescribe him. He could take care of himself. And he was even responsible for a second life.
He patted the little creature's head gently. "We'll manage it, don't we? We'll get Sayuri to fall in love and finally be happy" And with that plan in mind, Fye didn't find it difficult to fall asleep with a smile later.
