Sasha took slow steps soaking an essence of comfort towards her brother. He was curled up in a ball crying to himself, undoubtedly affected by the bizarre reality he was coming across. He may be ten years old, but he was still. Sasha did not have it easy recovering from this stabbing pain and unbearable surroundings, but to some extent, luck was on her side in this case where she was able to control herself and maintain a stable facade of glee.

"Seb" She called out softly, making the boy look up to his only source of comfort. His fluffy white cheeks were now stained with tears while resonating the affliction his fragile young heart felt.

Sasha saw her younger self in him. The young self died in the pits and fortified itself into a hardened stone, suppressing all agony into an artificial smile.

"Can I get you something?" Sasha asked trying her best to find a way to make her brother feel better.

"Why are they fighting again?" Seb asked with a sad voice lacing his anxiousness.

Sasha began to walk forward with a soothingly slow pace, to avoid creating a chaotic atmosphere and seated herself beside her brother.

"They just disagreed over something and hence why they ate fighting. You know how both of them are right, they always think they are correct. That's what hurt their feelings and they started to argue" She answered to her innocent brother who seemed to pause his crying now.

"So will they argue every time they disagree over something?" He asked curiously and worried at the same time if the scenario he witnessed will repeat every day or not.

"Not always. Just at times when both of them are sure that they are right" Sasha spat half the truth.

"Oh..." Sebastin responded

"But that's nothing to worry about for now okay? You do what you are doing, let them do what they are doing. Alright?" Sasha suggested to the younger.

"Okay" Sebastin nodded his head

"Why don't you take a nap or something?" Sasha recommended.

"I don't want to go outside" Sebastin pouted, afraid of the reaction he might get if he went out of her room.

"You can take a nap here" Sasha pointed to her bed, making the kid smile in relief as he jumped onto her soft mattress making the elder scrunch her nose at the mess that was created.

She decided to ignore it and walked towards her washroom to get herself changed into something more comfortable. Her mind went back to the incident which took place earlier today. She simply did not understand him and his intentions as usual were unclear of what they tried to convey. His words say he was only with her for the deal, but his actions were incomprehensible. She did not want to hurt herself thinking otherwise, hence she assumed some altered motive to be the case.

She was soon done with changing and headed towards her room just to hear snores from her brother who was fast asleep. She softly smiled, assuming he was tired of all the things and headed to sit by her window just to relish the rain she was soaked from hours ago.
