It backfired, of course.

She ended up disfigured, paralyzed, and ruined.

In truth, she never comprehended the most important rule when it comes to yanderes.

You don't fight him.

You win him over.

And this time, that was precisely what I planned to do.

[Wow! Big bro is gorgeous. I already like him!]

I looked up at him, channeling all the innocence I had as a baby, and reached out with both tiny hands, almost pleading for a hug.

Immediately, something shifted on his face. His stern expression softened slightly. Those icy amber eyes flickered with surprise and a gentler emotion.

"Hic… ahh… hug…"I spoke my very first word.

Gasps erupted on either side of me.

"Did our little girl just call for her brother?" Mom whispered, eyes shining.

"Lance, I think your sister already likes you," Dad chuckled, clearly thrilled. "Go on, give her a hug."

Lance stood there, frozen and still, struggling to process everything. Before he could voice any objections, someone gently placed me in his arms.

At first, he held me awkwardly, stiff and unsure. However, his hands were careful and almost reverent, as if he were afraid I might break.
