Nowi:
Hmm? What's this piece of paper doing on the ground?
Kellam:
Um, that's mine.
Nowi:
Really? Let's see what it says... "Dear everyone. How are you?"
Kellam:
Hey, that's private! Don't read it!
Nowi:
Oh, it's a letter! Did you write this?
Kellam:
It's for my family back home. My parents and brothers. I just want to let them know I'm okay.
Nowi:
You have brothers?
Kellam:
Oh, sure. Five of 'em. We grew up in a pretty lively house.
Nowi:
*Sniff* I wish I had brothers and sisters. It's so boring when you're all alone...
Kellam:
Gosh, that must be rough... But, uh, please don't cry. You know, I always wanted a sister... So if you want, maybe you could pretend that I'm your brother!
Nowi:
That's a great idea! From now on, I'll be your big sister!
Kellam:
Oh, right. You're older than me. I always forget that.
Nowi:
Okay, Little Brother, let's play a game! I get to pick because I'm the oldest.
Kellam:
Um...okay?

Nowi:
Keeellaaaaaam! It's time to play hide-and-seek!
Kellam:
Actually, you might not want to play that game with me.
Nowi:
Don't you try to wriggle out of it. Your big sister orders you to play!
Kellam:
Well, if you insist...
Nowi:
I'm going to count to a million, so you run off and hide somewhere.
Kellam:
A m-million?! Well, okay...
Nowi:
OOONE... TWOOO... THREEEEEE...
Kellam:
I was afraid this might happen. I'm hungry and it's almost dark. She must've gone home by now... I'll give it five more minutes, and then I'll come out and head for supper.
Nowi:
Ah-HAH! Gotcha!
Kellam:
Gah?! You were still looking?
Nowi:
Well, I HAD to find you, right? Otherwise you'd have been waiting forever! Sitting in a bush... All alone... Not a single friend to talk to... But don't worry about that, Little Brother! I'll NEVER leave you alone!
Kellam:
...Never?
Nowi:
Okay, your turn! Now you have to find me!
Kellam:
Um, Nowi? It's dark, and I'm hungry, so maybe we can—
Nowi:
Hey! Your older sister commands it!

Kellam:
Found you, Nowi!
Nowi:
Aww! Not again! Why are you so good at this stupid game?!
Kellam:
Oh, I've had a lot of practice.
Nowi:
But how do you hide so well? You have to teach me! Pleeease?!
Kellam:
Aw, shucks, Nowi. I can't teach you, because I don't know. It just...happens. Our family was real poor, see? So my brothers and I had to share everything. But I was a mean kid who hated sharing, so we'd always get into fights. Eventually my family got tired of my selfishness and started ignoring me. Well, I got mad and they stayed mad, and now... Well, it's like I'm just not there.
Nowi:
Oh, Kellam... That's the saddest thing I've ever heard in my life!
Kellam:
It is?
Nowi:
You may have had a family, but really you were all alone like me!
Kellam:
Well, I suppose so. In a way.
Nowi:
Well, never mind all that. I'm your sister now, and I KNOW you exist! So no more hiding from me, all right? ...Unless we're playing.
Kellam:
Heh heh. This sister thing ain't half bad!

Nowi:
What are you doing, Kellam? You look so serious.
Kellam:
Er, hello, Nowi. I'm just...polishing this ring.
Nowi:
Wow, it's so shiny!
Kellam:
My parents gave it to me when I first left for the capital. I'm supposed to give it to someone who I want to bring into the family.
Nowi:
You mean like your big sister?
Kellam:
Um, I guess so.
Nowi:
Oh, I'm just kidding. I know an engagement ring when I see one.
Kellam:
......
Nowi:
...Well? Are you going to give it to me or not?!
Kellam:
Wh-what?! Well, I was planning on making more of a deal out of it. I mean, with some music or maybe a big cake or...something? ...Here. Do you accept?
Nowi:
Yay! Of course I do!
