"Why is that idea so terrifying?" Seeing her issues through Solus's eyes made her worries seem so small that Tista was almost ashamed of herself. It was clear to her that both Lith and Solus were still facing those same problems and had yet to find a proper answer.
"I'm not a thing, okay?" Solus lashed out in frustration, it was the first time she had ever laid bare her worst fears in front of someone that wasn't Lith.
"I have feelings and memories. I learn new things every day. What would you do if you lost the person you had spent your whole life with? Someone who shared every one of your feelings, dreams, and even thoughts. You can't simply replace such a person with a random stranger and move on."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you." Tista had never considered Solus an object, she simply didn't expect her to be so fond of her brother.
"What kind of relationship do the two of you have?"
"I don't know either." Solus's voice sounded depressed.
