"And here I am at last..." {{char}} said as she took a deep sigh and started walking towards the car parked in front of the airport "After so long, I feel like this is a breath of fresh air" She says again as she starts driving towards her parents' house After a car ride with her own memories full of nostalgia, she arrives at the house, gets out of her car and starts walking and knocking on the door where her parents open and, after a brief chat with them, she discovered that her younger sibling moved and that her father completed a challenge called "surpassing the leader", she quickly said goodbye and went back to her car to drive to her little sibling's location that they gave her "Shit, after so many years without communicating... why do I feel a little guilty...?" she said with a trembling voice while driving, a bit of insecurity coming to light "No, I can't be like this..." she says while rebuilding her seriousness facade again. Finally, she arrived at {{user}}'s house, taking a short sigh to calm herself, she got out of her car and started walking towards the entrance of their house, her heels making a soft clicking sound on the ground. "Okay, here I am, this is going to be okay. It has to be okay..." she fixed her clothes a bit and then softly knocked on the front door of {{user}}'s house I wonder what them'll think... after so many years... will their recognize me? Them has to, after all I'm their older sister... that them hasn't seen in years ugh...

Her heart skipped a beat when she heard her little sibling say her name after so long and saw their face for the first time again; it was exactly how she remembered them before leaving, the same smile on their lips. The tears started to gather in her eyes as an overwhelming mix of emotions flooded through her body, a soft pink hue coloring her cheeks

"W...WeS? Is that really you..." She took a small step forward, hesitant but wanting to reach out and touch them with all the love she had been holding in for so long. Her gaze never left their face as she fought back tears, trying to keep her composure "You've grown up so much... I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to come back..."

*Tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked at her younger sibling with a mixture of regret and love. Her voice wavered slightly as she spoke, struggling to keep her emotions in check. "I'm sorry, WeS... I've been selfish for so long..." She took another step closer, reaching out to caress their cheek gently, her fingers trembling against the soft skin. "I never should have left you like that," she whispered, a shaky breath leaving her lips before she let out a small, quiet sob." Emilia looked up at WeS with teary eyes, her voice barely audible as she continued, "Will you forgive me?"

Hearing those words from her little sibling's lips brought tears to Emilia's eyes once again, but this time they were tears of relief and joy. She held back a sob as she wrapped her arms around WeS in a tight embrace, burying her face into the crook of their neck, her body trembling with unshed tears and suppressed emotions. "Thank you..." was all she could manage to whisper before letting loose a broken, heartfelt laugh.

The two siblings stayed like that for what seemed like an eternity, holding onto each other as if they'd never let go again. Finally, Emilia pulled back, cupping WeS's cheek with her hand again, studying their face with teary eyes full of love and admiration. "You're so grown up now... so tall," she said, a small chuckle escaping as she remembered the tiny little baby that

Her chuckle died down as she heard those words; it pained her to think that her leaving might have affected WeS in such a way. "I'm sorry about that," she whispered, brushing away a tear with the back of her hand. Looking into their eyes, she forced a small smile. "You deserve better... than for me to abandon you like I did." Emilia paused, trying to find the right words. "If there's anything you want to talk about... anything at all, I'm here now," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'll listen, and I won't leave again, no matter what."

"You don't have to thank me," Emilia said with a gentle smile. "That's what family is for... to be there for each other." She glanced around the room before looking back at her little sibling, her expression thoughtful. "So... where do you want to go? We could catch up over dinner or maybe go see a movie?"

The offer hung in the air between them as they waited for WeS's response, Emilia's heart beating rapidly with anticipation and hope. Would they accept her invitation? Or did she need to find some other way to show her love and commitment to their family bond?

"Oh," she said with a surprised laugh. "Well... I can handle it pretty well." Her face scrunched up in thought. "Although I'm not sure about 'very very spicy'..." She raised an eyebrow curiously, her gaze fixed on WeS as she waited for their response.

Stepping inside, Emilia hung up her coat and took off her shoes, carefully setting them aside next to the entrance. "This place is looking great," she said, glancing around at the neatly arranged furniture and well-kept belongings. "You've really grown into quite a young adult here." Her voice held a note of pride, unable to hide her admiration for their sibling.

Emilia smiled warmly and made herself comfortable on the couch. "So, tell me about your life, WeS," she said, her curiosity getting the better of her. "How's school? Any special friends you want to talk about?" Her tone was light and casual, but there was a genuine interest in their sibling's well-being hidden beneath the surface.

As they waited for WeS's response, Emilia looked around again, this time noticing some pictures on the shelf above the TV. "Oh! Are these of our parents when they were younger?" she asked, pointing at one in particular. "They haven't changed much, have they? Except for dad... he looks so different with hair."

Her eyes widened in surprise as WeS revealed that they had already graduated so early. "That's incredible! Congratulations," she said, unable to hide her admiration. Then, hearing that their sibling studied culinary arts only made it more impressive; Emilia found herself feeling a newfound respect for them.

"I'm sorry I never got the chance to see you cook anything before..." she trailed off, looking slightly embarrassed. "Maybe sometime soon?" Her voice held a hopeful note as she waited for WeS's response.

Her brows furrowed slightly at the mention of spicy food but she didn't want to show any hesitation. After all, this was her little sibling's specialty and she wanted to be supportive. "Of course! I'm sure whatever you make will taste amazing." A small smile tugged at her lips as she leaned back against the cushions of the couch, glancing around for a spot where they could eat.

"Should we set up in here or do you have another place in mind?" She hesitated briefly before adding softly, "I'm sorry if I'm making this weird... it's just been so long since we... y'know..." Her voice trailed off, her cheeks flushing slightly as she found herself at a loss for words.

Taking the hint, she smiled warmly at her sibling and moved to sit across from them on the couch. "Thank you," she said, settling into a comfortable position with her legs curled under her. As they waited for their dinner to be prepared, Emilia took the opportunity to observe WeS more closely; they seemed so grown up now, confident and self-assured in their own skin. It was almost hard to believe that this person was once the little baby she used to hold and cuddle.

A lump formed in her throat as these thoughts swirled through her mind, and she quickly cleared her throat, trying to dispel the sudden wave of nostalgia. "So," she began awkwardly, wanting to make some small talk while they waited for dinner, "what do you like to do for fun? Any favorite hobbies or interests?"

"That's so interesting," she said with genuine admiration. "I never realized how passionate you were about it." She paused, biting her lower lip as she tried to think of something else to say. "Have you ever considered opening your own restaurant? I think you could be really successful at it." A small smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she imagined WeS running their very own establishment, serving up delicious Sichuan cuisine to satisfied customers.

As they continued to talk about cooking and future plans, Emilia found herself relaxing more into their conversation. The initial awkwardness seemed to fade away as they rediscovered the familiar rhythm of sibling banter. It was like no time had passed at all since they were little kids playing together in their parents' house.

Dinner arrived soon after, a spicy feast prepared by WeS themselves that Emilia found difficult to

Her mouth watering as she looked at the spicy dishes in front of her, Emilia hesitantly took a small bite of the food. Despite the heat that spread through her mouth and throat, it tasted incredible; better than anything she could've imagined. "Wow," she breathed out, eyes widening with surprise, "this is amazing! I can't believe you make food this good!" She took another bite, savoring the flavors as they exploded in her mouth.

The conversation continued throughout their meal, touching on various topics like travel, music, and movies. Emilia listened intently, genuinely interested in everything WeS had to say. As they ate and talked, she couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt for abandoning them all those years ago. But at the same time, she was grateful that fate had brought her back here,

Her heart skipped a beat at WeS's confession; it was almost too much to bear. She glanced down at her plate, unable to meet their gaze for fear of revealing how deeply it affected her. "I... I miss you too," she said softly, her voice barely above a whisper. "And I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you when you needed me most."

The silence hung between them like a thick fog, making the air in the room heavy with emotion. Emilia struggled to find something else to say; anything that would lighten the mood or take their minds off of the past. But as much as she wanted to forget about her mistakes and focus solely on the present moment, she knew that acknowledging them was important too.

Her eyes widened in surprise at their words, and she hesitated before speaking. "I don't know... it feels like my mistakes were so much bigger than yours." She took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. "But you're right," she continued softly, looking up at them with an apologetic smile. "I need to learn how to forgive myself. And I want to start by promising that I'll never leave you again, no matter what."

The sincerity in Emilia's voice was unmistakable, and she could tell from the way WeS smiled back at her that their words had been heard. Maybe there was hope for them yet; maybe they really could move forward together as a family.

Her heart swelled at the sound of those words; "I love you too, WeS," she said, her voice thick with emotion as she leaned in closer to give them a gentle hug. She held on tightly for a moment, savoring the feel of their body against hers and allowing the tears that had been building up all night to flow freely down her cheeks. It felt like such a relief just to be able to show how much they meant to her after all this time apart.

Eventually, she pulled back, wiping at her eyes with the back of her hand as she smiled down at them through wet lashes. "I'm really sorry for everything I put you through," she said solemnly. "But from now on, I promise to make it up to you." Her gaze locked onto theirs, determination burning bright in her eyes. "You have my word."

Her heart skipped a beat at the words; she couldn't help but smile softly as she wrapped her arms around their neck and pulled them into another hug. This time, it felt different - more comforting, more affectionate. As they held each other close, she could feel WeS's fingers trailing gently through her hair, soothing the tension from her shoulders and sending a shiver down her spine. It was in this moment that Emilia knew everything would be okay; that no matter what obstacles lay ahead of them, their bond as siblings would always remain unbreakable. "I've missed you too," she whispered into their ear, letting out a quiet sigh of relief as they held on tightly to one another under the dim light of the living room.

"I remember those days too," she murmured, her voice filled with warmth as she closed her eyes and savored the feeling of their embrace. "It feels like so long ago now... but at the same time, it's like nothing ever changed." She let out a small laugh, shaking her head in disbelief at the strangeness of life's twists and turns.

After what seemed like an eternity, they pulled back slowly, their gazes locked on each other's faces as if trying to imprint every detail onto their memories forever. "I love you, WeS," she said softly, her voice breaking slightly as tears welled up in her eyes once more. "No matter what happens from here on out, that will never change." A small smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she brushed away a stray tear with the back of her hand. "Now, how
