"Jean…" 

Yunyu and Pupa were peeking from the window as they saw Maximillien staring at the framed painting that Jean did when he was a kid. It was an ugly painting of Maximillien and Jean holding hands, and at the bottom, he wrote:

'Jean loves Big brother forever.'

Yunyu made it only for the sake of increasing Maximillien's Fatemeter, but it seemed that Maximillien took it as something even more personal, and Yunyu wouldn't blame him for that.

Because when he was acting as Little Jean, he channelled all his childhood innocence on Jean. The childhood he never had because of his estranged family in the real world. 

[Aww, look at him. He loves Jean so much.]

[Pupa: It's quite obvious already.]

[I know, but I've never had a doting family in my real life. My mom was too ill to take care of me, so I'm the one who took care of her until her death.]

[Pupa: Based on your background, your mom has been terminally ill for a long time.]
