Zeno pressed a hand to his pregnant mother's belly. Listening to any sound his sibling could make. Soon, they would be popping out and he would be an older brother for the first time in many worlds.
The families he is born to are not often happy, as they had to be the perfect match for producing his body to have his exact looks. And more often than not these people were just not meant to be together.
And if they somehow were happy together, usually they were satisfied with just one child, but this was ancient japan and people were really into baby making. And this baby would be born in peaceful times, after all the siege of Osaka happened just a while ago so in his mind Sengoku Jidai is definitely over.
And as such he would be an older brother. A five year gap they would have but Zeno would put his all into protecting his sibling and all his children and family down the line. Promise!
He smiles and so does his mother, rubbing her hand over her belly and Zeno's hair. His father is drinking tea, with a relaxed expression. The fireplace is warm and Zeno thinks this is a perfect evening.
