She wouldn't have been able to imagine him like this. His blonde hair was cut a bit shorter, and in a mess, and his traits were emaciated. He looked like he had aged a few years in a few months' span. He even seemed a bit taller, and more muscular despite wearing a thick coat. He wore an unfamiliar short beard, and had a new scar on his cheek, another on his chin, but there was no doubt. Her tears began flowing out this time, and she did nothing to hold them back. He chuckled, tilting his head.
"What is it, sis? You can't recognize your dear big brother after all this time apart?"
"Lucian!"
She ran to him, forgetting about everything
