The towering dark-brown bear fur, the tuft of white on the chest, along with two spots of white just above two intelligent eyes—it was un the saed at runt

“I think he’s had enough, Boo,” h foroff the thick and slimy mask of saliva that had accuh that rabbed Boo’s large, furry head and turned him to face me

“Boo! Is Ellie here? What about et here?” I asked, as if he could speak to me

Fortunately, he didn’t have to My questions were answered when I saw Virion rush past us in a blur

“Tessia!” he called out, his voice bririp around Boo loosened at the mention of that name, and I io far before I was able to see four figures at the base of the stairs near the far wall of the building It wasand hurried strides slowed as led to break loose as I saw Tessia fall into Virion’s arh to break me and I found myself arm in arm with my baby sister, my face buried in her short brown hair

My sister’s entire body shook as she bawled intofists, she blubbered in between sobs about how scared she was and hoasn’t there

It felt like a cold hand was gripping down on uilty for , cry this much

“I’oing to be okay,” I said, tighteningher on the crown of her tre head

“W-We almost died and you weren’t there Y-Y-You’re… never there! Not at the Castle, not at the Wall, not even when Dad died!” She wailed, her fists still pounding my body “You’re my brother, you’re supposed to be there! You were supposed to comfort me when Dad died! I-I needed you… Mom needed you!”

“I’ all I could to stay strong “I’m so sorry…”

Ellie slowly calmed down as her head re shoulders now only occasionally shook when she hiccupped During this time, I didn’t look up I kept my focus entirely onat er behind her “G-Go apologize to Mom now”

I looked up to find our mother only a few steps away from us, her expression hollow and empty of any emotion Her warm and tender smile that I found even in the hardest of times was nowhere to be found

I walked up to her, unsure of what to do or where to begin

“M-Mom…”

My mother’s cold eyes cut me off as she took a step forward “Arthur, your sister and I al us, ouldn’t be here right now”

My gaze turned to Elder Rinia, as talking with Tessia and Virion, before landing back on hout that entire situation, when I thought that surely ould die—soon, if not now—do you knohat I was thinking?”

Her treripped me as she whispered “It doesn’t matter who you were before I raised you when you were little, I nursed you when you were sick, and I watched as you grew into thetime, and we can say with certainty that the Arthur now is so different from who he hen he was born, and that’s e realized that you are our son”

The strength left ripped asps I couldn’t breathe, I could only gag out the neverending sobs as my mother kept her arms around me

“I’ to realize that I’m so sorry that you couldn’t come to your own father’s funeral because of me I’m so sorry, Arthur”

It took a while for us to gather ourselves and get settled up on the second floor of the building During this time, I noticed that the atmosphere was a bit tense between Tess and Elder Rinia

The rest of us newcolances at each other while Tess ignored any efforts by Elder Rinia to start a conversation

Once we got upstairs, Elder Rinia pulled aside Virion with a grave expression and disappeared into another roo with reeted Tess and the two of us embraced silently for a briefelse on her e to ask directly, just based on the hollow expression that Tess had, I suspected sory at Elder Rinia, I could only speculate
