Totoka River Love your family.

This is going to be fun trying to make sense of their timeline XD

The male didn't respond aggressively, and Julooke was glad. He seemed apologetic, and honest that he was not, in fact, alright. Her heart fell when he admitted he wanted a family. She frowned, feeling empathetic and sad for him. She had no idea what she would have done without her family- probably feel just as lost as he did. She was so thankful in that moment she did have her family. Taking some liberties he had not given, Julooke slowly closed the distance between them, coming to try and sit down next to him. Maybe some physical closeness to someone would comfort him a little.

I know you feel the need for family to be blood related, but sometimes the family you pick can be better than the ones you were born into, she said softly. Julooke wasn't really speaking from experience, since she loved her family, but she was trying to give him a little perspective. Not all hope was lost for him to gain friends who he considered family. Sometimes, they're the most loyal, she added, thinking of Verrine.
