From that day onward, Ein really did reflect on his behavior! He really listened to my words—I felt like a proud big sister!
He stopped behaving in a stalker-ish way and got along well with my other friends, although I could feel that he was slightly more attached to me since he saw me as a sister figure.
After I stopped myself from trying to keep up a pretense in front of him, interacting with Ein didn’t feel stressful at all. On the contrary, it was fun. Having a younger figure looking up to you feels nice, actually.
I didn’t get to taste it with my past self’s younger brother... Well, that was partly my fault for harboring a dislike to Domi back then, right after he was born.
