In the small dining room of their home, the smell of home-cooked stew filled the air.
Sumeri sat across from her younger brother, watching as Nikolai animatedly waved his spoon while recounting his latest adventure in COVENANT.
"This boss was huge, Sister! Like, really huge—like a giant pinball of fire!" Nikolai's eyes sparkled as he spoke. "It kept bouncing everywhere, and magma was flying all around! Everyone was screaming, but I was super calm, of course."
Sumeri smiled faintly, sipping her soup. "Don't talk with your mouth full," she reminded gently. "You'll choke."
But Nikolai didn't even pause. He was too excited.
"I saved everyone! Even Sister Silvia's team! You should've seen me, Sis! I was amazing! They even gave me this cool item—the Fiery Cape! And oh! Oh! This Mister Ren—he's sooo cool! He was like, boom! fire everywhere!"
He threw his arms up dramatically, nearly knocking over his glass of water.
