Momo's sobs gradually subsided into softer hiccups, but tears still rolled down her cheeks. "Th-thank you," she managed to whisper between breaths, her voice fragile but filled with gratitude. After a moment, she chortled softly, the sound surprising even her as she wiped her face. "You know... I'm a little jealous of Lily," she admitted, her eyes flickering with a mix of emotions. "She's so lucky to have someone like you as her older brother."
Arthur smiled at her words, a soft laugh escaping his lips as he shook his head. "Nah, I'm not someone that great. Trust me, I've made a ton of mistakes along the way," he replied modestly, his tone light but genuine. "Lily's tough. I'm just there to make sure she doesn't get too reckless. But really, she can handle herself."
Momo looked at him with wide eyes, wiping the last remnants of her tears with the back of her hand. "Even so... You're always there for her," she muttered. "That's something."
