Looking at Lumi was like looking at her past self.
Her fist clenched tightly, and her lips were pressed together. Then she lifted her head and looked straight at Lumi, meeting his eyes, her expression resolute.
"Lumi… do you want to stay by my side? I could adopt you, and I can become your older sister. From now on, you will have a home."
"There would never be anyone who would hurt you over here," Celeste said as she looked at him without any trace of hesitation in her eyes.
The moment Lumi heard those words, he immediately lifted his head and stared straight at her with disbelief in his eyes.
Why… Why would someone be so nice to him?
This feeling… It was like the warmth of a mother.
