Tears involuntarily leaked from his burning eyes when he hugged his twin now, though.
"We'll never be apart from now on!" he solemnly declared.
His tight embrace nearly suffocated Youyou.
"Brother, a little gentler; I'm hurting…" he cried out helplessly.

"Brother…"
"Do you blame me?"

The latter's face stiffened, and he asked with puzzlement. "What are you laughing about?"
