Grown Up Sister

"Why are you so shy now?" Varian asked with a teasing smile.

"I-I don't really own the actions I did as my younger self! It's not me! Th-That self of me is stupid and proble—mhh?"

Varian covered her mouth and shook his head. "A child should behave like a child. Why do you judge yourself so harshly? And take this from someone who…hated his younger self for his incompetence, never hate yourself. Especially your younger self."

Primula stiffened for a moment before she nodded slowly. She could feel all the emotions of her younger self, the silly worries, the deep fears and the childish but candid dreams that filled the naive mind.

She saw her younger self as a useless annoyance to her brother. But giving it another thought, weren't all children like that? Would any parents hate them for it?

"I never had a proper talk with you like this, did I?" Varian gave her a warm smile.
