"I don't know what it's like to have a sibling, but I'm pretty sure it's never about being /just like/ them, or measuring up to them or whatever. You just have to be yourself and be happy with whatever that means."
Serena has nothing else to say, her mind still mulling over that fractured past. In lieu of words, she just gives you a silent nod. Now, this *would* be the perfect moment for a comforting hug and maybe a kissu or two, but it's inadvertently broken by you switching subjects.
Hopping from your chair to her bed, you crash and make a few announcements, "Oh yeah! Forgot to mention, I'm staying the night, pops said it was okay--and I'm also your new training buddy because you're too weak to do it on your own and need some buddy help, don't worry, I already called my shitty nurse and she begrudgingly said it was a-okay!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPGcpIXeA-4Serena snaps out of her reminiscing to focus her mind on your bombshells, "What? Staying overnight?--Partner?! But why? I told you before, I don't need any help, I can accomplish this on my own."
