Kamille did not say anything in response, which made Rise's heart sink slightly. Of course, if both fight, he would be on Kamille's side. However, if it could be prevented, he did not want to see them too opposed to each other.
Perhaps, just the same situation as in the past would be enough, as long as they did not fight for real.
After staring at him for a while, Kamille finally replied, his gaze inexplicably deep, and something unreadable was within.
"Do you really think he..." Kamille frowned but still continued, "he thought of you as his little brother?"
This was a question almost out of the blue but at the same time still related to their topic. Rise did not even think too much and answered almost as soon as he was asked.
"Of course; if not, then what?" Rise's impression of Mitchell and their relationship seemed fixed, not accommodating other thoughts.
