"Angin!"
"Yeah? What's up?" The boy looked up to see his brother running towards him and decided to sit beside him.
"I have questions," the boy giggled.
"What is it?" Angin tilted his head, curious about the younger boy's query.
"You're the second oldest, right? Yet, why are you not serious and always playing around?" The question didn't sound like judgment, just pure curiosity.
Angin smiled and lay down on the grass, using his hands as a pillow. "And what? Become grumpy and always serious like Petir or overly responsible like Tanah? I think you guys have enough of that. We need someone like me to balance everything."
"Ohhh."
"Plus, the TTM wouldn't be complete without someone like me in the team!" Angin winked at the boy.
"You're right! I prefer you stay like this," the boy in red giggled again and lay down beside Angin.
Another question tugged at the older twin's attention. "Do you believe in reincarnation?"
The boy hummed, "Why the sudden question?"
"I watched a movie with Daun and Cahaya about a character getting reincarnated. Daun thought it was fascinating how he got to save his family and hoped for such a miracle in real life. Cahaya thought it was unrealistic and lacked scientific explanation. So, I want to know what you think."
"Have you asked the others yet?"
"I asked Air, but he just shrugged and told me to ask him again after he woke up. I haven't asked Tanah and Petir yet. So, what do you think?"
"Well, I think it's interesting. To be able to relive your life... but, I don't know. Anything can change with different decisions. Say, what would you do if you got reincarnated, Api?"
The boy closed his eyes, a smile plastered on his face. "I wish to stay with you guys!" He opened his eyes and looked at Angin before sitting up. "No matter how many times I come back, I want to stay as your brother. All of us, the seven of us. It doesn't matter if in those lives I'm no longer the middle child or Petir isn't the oldest. As long as we're together, I don't mind being reincarnated as many times as the universe wants!"
He giggled, and Angin sat up, leaning on his side. "Then me too! I wouldn't mind it either!"
"You won't leave me, right?" The boy's smile never wavered as he gazed at the sunset.
"Of course! No one leaves!"

Ais and Duri sprinted toward their home, their hearts pounding with worry. Without hesitation, Duri summoned his power, green roots snaking out from the ground to restrain Halilintar and pull him away from the man at the door. Ais positioned himself between his brother and the stranger, his stance protective.
