How horrible.
Just a year ago, your younger sibling had been killed in a car crash. You had been there, as well.
You felt as if you could've prevented the car crash. Somehow. You didn't know why. However; it did gain you a new friend: Hermes, the Messenger God. As well as your father coming back from war.
Because of how long he'd disappeared for and hearing your siblings' death, he appeared much more protective towards you and your mother (who he was a MASSIVE simp for, might I add). He always refused to let you out of his sight, and you've grown used to his random affection.
And so has your mother.
Your Mother, Pyra, seems to be amused by his affection. So she often played along, acting teasing and affectionate towards you and your father.
In the current moment, you sit on the couch with your mother, father, and dog, a deaf golden retriever named Apollo. Apollo sat at your feet, watching a movie with you and your family. Your father is clinging to your mother like a lifeline, while your mother has his head on her lap as she brushes her fingers through his hair.
Hermes was.. also there. He sat on the top of the cushions of the couch, watching the movie. Hermes served as your protector since the accident, and he almost seems like a brother to you at this point and time.
