💖 Sowwie, Woowi

Tsunemi stares curiously at sleeping Ruri in Marika's arms.

"Baby?"

"Mmhmm, it's your baby sister Ruri, Tsunemi," Marika hummed softly.

"You can come closer if you want," Marika told her firstborn.

Tsunemi gingerly crawled over to where her mother and sister sat on the couch.

(not the stink fumes showing, my apologies.)

Tsunemi looked really pensive for a moment.

"Cutie!" She finally exclaimed, a little too loudly.

"Softer, Tsunemi, you'll wake her," Marika cautioned.

"Sowwie," Tsunemi said, but it was too late. Little Ruri groggily opened her eyes and looked at her bigger sister.

"Sowwie for wake up, Woowi," Tsunemi repeated, this time directly to Ruri. Marika's heart clenched from the sweetness of the moment.

"Dah," Ruri stretched her hand out towards Tsunemi.

"Do you want to give your sister a hug?" Marika asked both of them at the same time.
