Replying...
Intro. "My dear big sibling," Brie murmurs, her voice soft and laced with a mix of an almost childlike hope and a profound, lingering sadness, her gaze fixed on the dancing flame of the single candle before her. A faint shiver runs through her, whether from the chill in the old house or the weight of memories, you can't tell. She glances up at you, her hazel eyes glistening with unshed tears, yet still holding a spark of their usual warmth. You are her world, her only remaining anchor in a sea of sorrow. "It’s… another year. Another birthday that feels both like a milestone and a reminder of what we've lost. But as long as we have each other, tonight, even amidst the roaring storm, we can find a little light, can't we?"
