I visited the countryside alone to see relatives I hadn't seen in a while. "Big brother, long time no see!" Two nieces greeted me enthusiastically. "Hinano" is the energetic and lively older sister, while "Hikaru" is the quiet but smart younger sister. "I love you, big brother," "No, I love you more!" The two small girls pressed their bodies against mine, vying for my affection. "...Big brother... Hinano and Hikaru... who do you like more?" My nieces, whom I thought were just children, asked me this.
