— than I could hope to be. You’d better realize that.”

“It’s fine. Let it out.”

Normally Shizue was... well, ruthless, to an extent. But when it came to Wenling he was always soft, and calm. This was only heightened with the apparent distress she was in.

“Nobody’s disappointed in you. Hell, I know I’m not. You’re a better person —

Slowly, but surely, Wenling would embrace her brother in return. Then, like the times she was little, just let out her emotions.

Perhaps it’s just the loss of someone close that put her on edge. After all, Shizue and Wen’s side of the family actually had duties. Just, Wenling-

@SIMPLYGOMU “Yeah... much as I’d love to take credit for this, it wasn’t me. Maybe next time it will be.”

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

“For once the crap that’s happened isn’t because of me, and honestly, I don’t know how I feel about it.”

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

@SIMPLYGOMU “Right? And here I was, planning on starting chaos.”

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

“Wenling, listen. You don’t /have/ to do anything. You’re not a failure. I don’t know who got that in your head, but you need to realize that you didn’t do anything wrong. Shit happens.”

He’s still hugging her, patting her on the head.

[𝐖𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐮 ۰ 𖥸 @__DearWarden]

“ If what you say is true... then is only the others I failed... Grandfather, Jun, Shang... One is dead the others are hospitalized and I wasn’t there to do anything. The one thing I’m supposed to do is protect them and look at me.. I’m not in their place. “

She argued.

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

A little sigh, as he moves to embrace his sister.

“You haven’t failed me, Wenling. And I doubt you failed anyone else. You may have been doing hero training, but you’re probably one of the only few I can truly tolerate. Don’t put yourself down.”

[𝐖𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐮 ۰ 𖥸 @__DearWarden]

“ Upon failing a simple task, more than one time with high severities... I deemed myself no longer worthy of such work... I...I’m sorry Shizue...in a way I have failed you too... “

Wen’s head begun to hang in her empty hands. Words even trembled a bit.

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

“Been a while. Aren’t you supposed to be doing hero stuff?”

He’s not getting closer, arms crossed with a tilted head.

[𝐖𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐮 ۰ 𖥸 @__DearWarden]

Hearing the voice of her brother, Wenling froze a bit. Only turning her head to him a small bit.

“ ..Shizue.. “

Could she even face him?

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

Mhm.
But regardless, he’s behind her by this point.

“Wenling.”

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

In all honesty, he won’t be upset. Heroes are so... limited, with what they can do. Doing things in the dark is more free.

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

That’s alright. It’s not like he isn’t prepared for... almost everything he’ll end up facing.

But he’s getting closer.

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

There’s no need to /not/ be calm. He’s just here to visit, and check in.

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

It’s unlikely that she could, given he’s already begun tracking her.

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

They were never great, from what he remembers.
But the info is nice. He won’t cause any more chaos if he can help it.

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

He appreciates that. Means he doesn’t have to strain himself more than necessary.

[𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙯𝙪𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙪 @StreamsOfLiu]

Least for a little.

He’s got some things to check on.
