Inside the opened door are two young girls, both wearing white sweaters
Their expressions are as confused as mine
"Farah, Zani, He is a treasure I happened to find on the road. His name is Kaiser" Myreni said as she pointed at me
"Hey Kaiser, this is Zani" Myreni then pointed to the girl standing on the left
Zani has sharp, angular features that exude confidence and authority. Her short, white, layered hair is slightly tousled. The strands frame her face and highlight her striking red eyes, which are narrow and piercing, giving off a cold, "not friendly" vibe
'She seems like she doesn't enjoy meeting new people' Kaiser thought
"And this is Farah" Myreni then introduced the other girl
Farah, on the other hand, has a completely different vibe
"Hi, I am Farah, nice to meet you!" Farah said with a bright smile on her face
"Hello, I'm Kaiser, I'm also very happy to meet you" Kaiser quickly replied and take a look at her
Farah has long, flowing blonde hair with soft waves cascading past her shoulders. Her hair is slightly parted to the side, with a few strands delicately framing her face. Her eyes are blue, even more beautiful with her long eyelashes
'Is that cat ears!?' Kaiser's eyes widened in surprise when he saw another pair of ears appear on top of her head
Noticing his gaze on her ears, Farah cheerfully explained,
"As you can see, I am a cat beastkin" Then she revealed her yellow tail, which is wagging energetically behind her

After seeing that the others had gotten to know each other, Myreni continues to speak
"The reason I decided to bring Kaiser to our home is –" Myreni then pointed to my neck, specifically the black line that wraps around it
"This line right here, is a Stigma"
Her words made both Zani and Farah gasp
"What?" Zani's mouth dropped open in shock
"A Stigma? Like the thing you have?" Farah also couldn't hide her surprise and asked Myreni
"You heard it right, just like me, he has a stigma. I just happened to find him while strolling around" Myreni cheerfully boasted about her accomplishment
"What do you mean you just happened to find him while strolling around!?" Zani expressed her disapproval of Myreni's statement.
"Someone possessing an Aspect wouldn't just randomly be found by you on the street," Farah added
"I don't know either, but I really just happened to find him. I sensed the power of an Aspect, so I followed its trace and found Kaiser," Myreni replied
Farah then walked closer to Kaiser, lowering herself to his eye level. She reached out, gently ruffling his hair, and said
"So, Kaiser, do you know what your Aspect can do?"
Caught off guard by Farah’s sudden closeness, Kaiser blushed deeply and stammered
"I-I still don’t know what my ability is yet."
Farah paused to think for a moment, then smiled warmly and said
"Alright, we can figure it out together later"
Myreni nodded with a bright smile, one as warm and contagious as sunshine.
Zani, observing the interaction, also approached Kaiser
Without a word, she brushed Farah’s hand aside and placed her own hand on Kaiser’s head, ruffling his hair in her own way
"I guess having a cute little brother isn’t a bad idea," she said, her expression remaining as cold and composed as ever.
Seeing that Farah and Zani accepted Kaiser, Myreni couldn’t help but smile with delight. She walked over to the three of them, her arms opening wide. Before they realized it, she pulled them all into a tight hug.
"Aghk!" The sound of surprise escaped from all three of them.
"Looks like our family just got bigger again," Myreni declared, holding the trio tightly in her embrace, her joy radiating through every word.
