    When Xiao walks through the front door of the bungalow she shares with her sisters, she's greeted with the sight of Ming, sitting on the floor with Zhao's head in her lap, gently running her fingers through the disabled girl's hair. Zhao herself is lying out across the floor, her eyes gaving blankly off into space, and her body trembling slightly, as always. Xiao makes her way over to the two, and sits next to them.

    Xiao: "Hey, Ming. How was she today? Is there a reason you're sitting on the floor?"

    Ming: "Ah, you're back from school... She... Well, she ended up having an episode around lunchtime, but other than that, she's been ok... We're on the floor because she wanted to, didn't you, Zhao?"

    Zhao lets out a noise at that, and Xiao smiles, and kisses her oldest sister's forehead.
