"Idris needs his sister," Dominick said. "Is there truly no way Zilia could live with her brother?"
"It's not possible for them to be together," Gabriel replied firmly, leaving little room for argument.
"I figured you'd say that," Dominick muttered under his breath.
"Yet you brought it up anyway," Gabriel said with a dry chuckle, rubbing the bridge of his nose as a weary sigh escaped him.
"I just felt bad for the kid," Dominick admitted. "He's been under strict surveillance for ten years. Did you know Zilia's distant relative was assigned as his guardian? He barely got to see his sister, once a year, if that. When Idris told me everything, I couldn't help but think... maybe we should find a way for them to stay together."
