"Wah wah wah Waaaahhhh༼☯﹏☯༽!!"
In an instant, the little girl's cries echoed through the heavens and earth, her crystal clear tears falling like pearls off a string, rolling down her pale cheeks and dropping to the ground.
"Eh??! What, what's happening?"
Pierre was momentarily stunned, blinking in confusion as he watched the tears falling onto the back of his hand and looked at the crying girl, her face wet with tears like pear blossoms in the rain.
"Why, why are you crying?!"
Pierre asked, puzzled.
'Was it just because I asked her to call me 'big brother'? Was that enough to make her cry so hard and loudly? She had seemed so indifferent just a moment ago, hadn't she?'
'Could it be that I had pinched too hard?'
