Chapter 154: Calling 'her' little brother

In the quietude of his mind, another voice as soft and sweet as a lullaby he had yearned for millennia, resonated, pulling Seven from his deep contemplation. "Brother?" it queried, a note of worry threading through the word as if sensing his disquiet.

"Are you alright?" the voice, feminine and gentle, probed hesitantly.

Seven's eyes were closed in a tender moment, his arms encircling Atasha in an embrace that spoke volumes of a longing, so profound. It mirrored a child who, after an eternity of wandering, finds refuge in the warm arms of a long-lost mother.
