The female nearly twitched at the idea of being considered a baby. “I’m fine, thank you. How about you?” she managed civilly before glaring at him for treating her childishly. “I can read a book without your help at night; I’m not a child,” Yuriko stated bluntly. The younger Kotobuki returned his hug reluctantly in an almost awkward fashion since her long arms were pinned to her sides. ‘…What. What the- What the hell is this about? What nerve!’ “Ne?! Where would you get that idea?!”

“That’s ludicrous! Such a preposterous notion, Reiji! What the hell are you even talking about?!” The very idea of it! The younger female began to think about how absurd it was and all the same embarrassing even.
