NOE
You know there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love
"Those must be some hot springs," said Noe, grinning to see her brother in such high spirits. Truth be told, she'd have agreed to the trip even more quickly if she'd known that doing so would seem to take such a weight off his shoulders. This Koa was an entirely different man than the one she'd entered the house to find.
The girl kicked her feet up onto an empty chair, crossing one arm over her chest as she nabbed her beer with the other. She sipped at the drink as Koa rambled on, pleased to see him so genuinely excited and beginning to imagine that this family vacation of theirs might actually be fun. She was so wrapped up in listening and planning that she almost missed his last sentence - and it took her a moment, but when her mind caught up with the conversation, she paused, brows furrowing in confusion, and tilted her head at Koa.
"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked, something like hurt appearing in her expression. Sure, maybe she hadn't been entirely herself lately - she'd been a little down around her birthday, but only because she'd been spending it alone - and maybe she'd been busy, what with starting a business, but Koa hadn't even been here to see the changes. How would be know what she was like these days, when he could barely even be bothered to check in between assignments?

The slowest way is never loving them enough
