Being the older sibling, it was their job to care for Xiao. Even after being in war together, and fighting to the death. After all of that, they were still there.

After a night of bad dreams, he awoke in a sweat. He didn't question their disappearance, only to see them return with a small something.

A bowl of ice cream.

He huffed, refusing at first. Eventually, he took the bowl and started to eat it. Despite everything, this was one of few human dishes he could eat.

”.. Thank you.”
