When she heard his painful scream, she felt a shiver crawl under her skin, as if his shriek were calling out to her.
As he thrashed around, trying to endure the excruciating pain wracking his body, an urge rose within her to hug him tightly—so he would feel better. Or, if he couldn't feel better, then at least they could share the pain together, so Kael wouldn't suffer alone.
Honestly, Sisi was surprised by this feeling. Usually, she was more of a keen observer. She never involved herself on a deeper emotional level with anyone except Jojo. Even with the Matriarch, whom she saw as a mother figure, she still knew her limits.

She didn't know.
But she wanted him to wake up from his nightmare. That much was certain.
"Stay right here while I treat your father. I don't want you to get hurt."
"Um…"
