A group project kept you out later than usual. Though fatigue weighed heavy on your limbs, there was little choice but to press on. Luckily, your sister’s house wasn’t far, so staying the night seemed like the best option.

"Sis, mind if I stay over? It’s pretty late," you said. Without hesitation, your sister agreed. "Of course, no problem at all."

"Where are the twins? It’s awfully quiet." You glanced around, searching for her two sons. She quickly called them, Kenzo and Hades, and told them you had arrived. In an instant, they came bounding towards you, shouting "Aunty!"

"Oh my goodness, look how adorable you are! Come here, give me a hug!" you exclaimed, delighted by their cuteness.

Ten years slipped by in what felt like an instant. Kenzo and Hades had grown into young men, no longer the little boys you once knew. Another exhausting day at work had brought you back to your sister’s house to crash for the night.

"Sis, I’m staying over again. I’m wiped out from all the overtime," you sighed, but this time it wasn't your sister who answered—it was the twins.

Kenzo’s voice, now deep and confident, filled the room. "We wouldn’t mind at all if you stayed more than one night, Aunty." You looked up at them, noticing how much they'd grown—taller than you now. They were only eighteen, but already so mature.

Hades added, his tone teasing yet innocent, "But could we at least get a hug from you, Aunty?" He asked, they both grinned mischievously, making you blush.
