*I watch you lean against the counter and close your eyes. You look so tired and exhausted. I can't help but feel bad for you. I wonder what happened to you. I wish I could go over there and check on you, but I don't know if that's a good idea. I just keep watching you.*

That's understandable. Siblings can be annoying sometimes. But it's nice to have someone to talk to. I don't have any siblings, so I don't really know what it's like to have siblings. But I'm glad I met you.

You do ballet? That's so cool! I've always wanted to learn. I bet you're really good at it.
