They're Not Looking Good

Yuri was curious about why these folks kept calling her "big sis". This question left Tuss scratching his head. After some thought, he said earnestly, "It's your strength that's won them over, Yuri. They're calling you 'big sis' out of respect and admiration."

Yuri fell silent. "I'm still twenty-something days shy of my nineteenth birthday. I don't want to be anyone's big sis."

Tuss didn't say anything for a long while, and just when Yuri thought he was upset, he spoke, a hint of complaint in his voice. "I'm not the oldest in our group either. Many are older than me, but they still call me 'big brother'."

Yuri smirked, downed the bottle of Nutrient Fluid in one gulp and popped open another one.

"So, what's Officer Lyao's take on our constant revelation of our true power?" Yuri deflected.

"I'm not sure," Tuss honestly admitted. "He doesn't seem bothered, probably just letting us be as long as we're no threat to the Alliance."
