Esme was speechless when his mask fell. Blue eyes... the same blue eyes she had...
"Brother...?" she murmured. He seemed just as shocked as she was.
But what he did next was more shocking.

Esme had opened her arms, ready to embrace the brother she had wanted for so long. She barely had time to scream as he plunged a knife into her. She felt a brief and intense pain before her body changed.
She stared at him, unblinking in shock. Her own brother... he had killed her... made her into a... a ghost...

"How could you...?" she asked, sliding to her knees. 
Even as a ghost she knew she still had a heart, because it was breaking. "All I ever wanted was to be with you. How could you do this to me? This isn't right. This wasn't supposed to happen," she wrapped her transparent arms around herself, ghostly tears dripping from her cheeks. "You were supposed to understand. You were supposed to be happy to see me, to know that I existed."

The sense of betrayel, seeing her dreams of a loving brother shattering before her, was almost too much to take. "I'm your sister," she cried, looking up at him with anger and pain in her eyes. "I'm your sister dammit!"

Chance laughed as she enjoyed the piggy back ride. "Kodama is such a sweet talker," she said, planting a big kiss on his cheek.

"Hmm..." she said, tapping her finger on her cheek as she looked over his tattoos. "This one!" she declared happily, running her fingers seductively over a snake. "I love your snake," she said and laughed, the ennuendo making her laugh and some in the crowd shift uncomfortably.
