And so, the days passed by without incident.
I hadn't gotten along any better with Norn.
But, she kept her promise to show up at home every ten days.
Although she hates me, she obediently listens to what I say.
I thought she would be more rebellious, but at least she wasn't opposed to meeting face-to-face.
Even though she doesn't look like she wants to.
Hmm...
If I think about it, apart from when they were too young to remember, I've met them only once.
It's probably a mistake to think that we could just suddenly get along as brother and sister.
My relationship with Aisha is rather strange.
Just because we're family doesn't mean we can get along unconditionally.
I understand that all too well.
Rather, it's because we're family that there are things that couldn't be forgiven.
Like the time when I beat up Paul in front of Norn.
Me and Paul have reconciled our differences.
However, from Norn's perspective, that is something that still could not be forgiven.
...If.
If she brings up that matter, I'll apologize.
I'd apologize and explain what happened honestly, but bringing something up from that long ago is no good.
Well, there's no need to rush.
We'll be together for many years.
Over a year or two, we'll slowly get along.
As siblings it's not like we need to be attached to each other.
We'll get along slowly, while being aware of our distance.
Closing the distance will take time.
