Seeing the way Dylan was being bullied by his elder sister, Xiu was reminded of Jackson and Nora. The only difference was that in her best friend's case, Nora was always at the losing end. Jackson was the youngest and his age was his biggest weapon to manipulate Nora.
Now that she thought about it, she decided to keep Jackson away from books that didn't compliment his age. In the age of playing with toys, he was already getting intense with emotions. Xiu's biggest fear was that she didn't want Jackson to mature too soon. He was a child and deserved to experience being a child.
She had to act like a mature person from a very young age, she didn't want him to go through the same experiences in life. While Xiu was lost in her own thoughts, she felt a pair of eyes glued on her face.
