After facing enough 'attacks' Mika opened his mouth, about to apologize for taking advantage of her feelings like that, about to say he was sorry for making her worry, about to—
"Call me Big Sis, Mika."
He froze.
"What?"
She had stopped her tail-brushing and was looking at him with a solemn, serious expression.
The tears were still there, shimmering at the edges, but her gaze was firm.
"I said." She repeated slowly, deliberately. "Call me Big Sis."
Mika blinked and asked with narrowed eyes,
"Why would I do something like that?"
Her expression hardened as she exclaimed,
"Because of the emotional turmoil you put me through, Mika!"
The frustration returned.
"Because you took advantage of my feelings!"
"You knew that I would come running if I thought you were hurt! You knew that I couldn't handle seeing you in distress for even a single moment!"
"And you used that against me! You set it up perfectly and you broke my heart!"
Her voice cracked slightly on the last words.
