Chapter 43: Words from the heart

"Aren't you happy to be staying here with us?" Rinei asked Erin as they were lying in the same bed again. With her arms hugging him from behind. They had always been that close.

"What makes you say that?" he gently turned to face his twin sister.

"I don't know where it started. But you became so distant to me," tears began to well at the corner of its eyes. "Did I do something to make you angry? If I did-"

Erin hugged his sister tightly.

"I'm sorry for making you feel bad about yourself. I wasn't a good brother myself. I blamed you for something you're not even aware of,"

"I really missed my twin brother, Can you tell him to come back for me?"
