"We are in your brother's lab."
Kirstie was confused by her mother's statement. Then she thought of something, and her head automatically jerked to the side. There, she saw the one she has only seen in pictures.
Zed.
He also looked at her, and their gazes met. Hers was soft, full of warmth and tenderness, while his was complicated.
He has no warmth or feeling for her, but he wasn't totally indifferent to her either; he couldn't after meeting with her as Kiba.
"You are really my brother!"
Kirstie exclaimed and stretched her arms out for a hug.
She kept her open arms in the air, waiting for him to arrive in between so she could wrap them around.
Since she couldn't walk, her actions seemed both awkward and cute.
Zed internally sighed.
This was awkward for him.
Had he been Kiba, and if she was anyone else, he would have loved to hug her. But now…
"There's no reason for me to be petty."
