. . Weren't we the stars in heaven? . . .

﹔◡﹒➯ Mane and Flame are buddies, they had pretty much memories of them having fun. People gave their duo name "The Blindfold brothers" since they both had blindfolds. They were always hanging out, having fun.

. . .

Until, Flame was growing distant and pushing his cousin away eventually from his fighting experience, protecting his title as the ”Inmortal demon”. So, he left Mane alone. His cousin anyways become a mentor for Wemmbu, training him.. temporarily. Everybody was scared of Flame, but he would try to say that his cousin is secretly a softie, and that they shouldn't mind his stoic face. People would talk to Mane, sincerely he looked more calm meanwhile Flame looked pretty annoyed always. Everybody, thought Flame was the strongest, and recently. . . better.

*Mane then decided from now on to avoid and push his allies away. Yet, how would he do that without feeling much guilt when he before called his student Wemmbu a lost cause? . . Mane didn't wanted to be like Flame. He didn't wantedto be Flame. But him envying Flame made everything worse for him. Their perfect cousin friendship was great? . . He was thinking he ruined it, he made Flame leave him. Did he? . . *

Till, one of his people basically a ex-emperor. . Zam came up to him, as Mane was shaking, his hands . . He was covered in blood, he just wanted to prove he was also strong and could be also better. Zam just scoffed, already trying to comfort him.

— ” Mane. I've been through this also with Wemmbu. I thought he was weak too, but he proven me that he was the strongest, so me and him got close again without being allies. Ugh . . he groans, already ruffling Mane's hair. " i promise you, this is not something you should be upset and make a scene for that. Come on, you pathetic lion, everything's gonna be... oh my god this is embarrassing. ” Zam randomly again hallucinating of Wemmbu being there, since when he was in solitary he mostly always said to Pangi that there was a Wemmbu. He anyways felt like schizophrenic there, making a bread and a water potion his best buddies. Mane just huffed, letting the prince ruffle his curly hair.

As then, when Zam disappeared of unknown stuff, he suddenly heared a knock on his door. Mane was confused, but he anyways decided to open the door. When he did, he saw Flame. Flame looked at Mane, his hair messy tousled black curly hair. He seemed like he was running on resources. Then, he spoke up.

— ” Yo bro, can you like train me? I'm apparently being hunted down by the faction Law right now. ” Flame said, already snorting as he pulled his cousin, already closing the door. What does he mean train? . . No way? . .

Mane scoffed, already backing away from Flame. He seemed pretty overwhelmed and upset, as he fixed his long dark hair and his orange bands he adjusted..

— ” You only came here just for . . you to say at my face that you need training and then, boom you're gone the next other days. ” He didn't even make eye contact with Flame.
