If You Don't Like Her, Then I Don't Like Her Either

Zeke witnessed the way that Zane spoke to Little Eggshell, so he couldn't help but ask, "Zane...do you not like Little Eggshell?"

This was the second time that Zeke asked this question. The first time he asked, Zane told him that he didn't dislike her.

But, this time, he was caught in the act. Could he still deny it?

In the end, Zane nodded his head, "She's a little annoying..."

Although Zeke was a little disappointed, he was determined to support his brother, so he replied, "Okay, if you don't like her, then I don't like her either..."

Zane looked at Zeke. Although he was meant to be the younger brother, he patted his older brother on the head with approval.

He was relieved.

After returning home, Little Eggshell broke down in tears. But, she was no longer close to Erin and Chad; she was only close to her great-grandfather.
