"You brought me here, and for what? To waste my time? To call me a fool? Or... was all you wanted was to see the person you broke, one last time for your own sadistic pleasure?"

It wasn't until hours later did I leave the room, and during those heartbreaking hours of the teen crying and eventually falling asleep on me, all I felt was guilt as I hushed the boy and consoled him to the best of my ability. Once he did fall asleep on me, it was a hassle to get his large lanky body up onto the bed into a comfortable position so that he could be tucked in, but with a bit of frustrated groans and pulling his dead weight around, it was manageable.

Silently walking throughout the halls of my orphanage, I looked down at the piglin hybrid in my arms, to find her large baby blue eyes were wide open and staring at me. The left one with a clear scratch-like mark grazing through the eye caused it to appear gray, a sinking feeling in my stomach as I saw it. I stopped walking and sat there for a moment studying her small form, a slight pink fuzz of hair atop her small head as her ears twitched slightly. Without a second thought, she let out a scream of laughter before clapping incredulously.

Tilting my head in curiosity I let out a small hum, "Hmm? What so funny, little one?"

"You act as if she can respond," An all too familiar monotone voice rang out behind me, causing me to whip around, fear immediately filling my being as I gazed up at the tall pinkette with large eyes.

The baby however, merely let out happy blubbers and noises of contempt as she freed herself from the blankets and crawled around in my grasp, and began to reach out towards the older piglin hybrid. Techno stared at me with bored eyes, his long pink hair shifting with him as he reached out to the child and plucked her from my grasp.

I stood, frozen with fear as past memories flashed through my mind of a tall man taking grasp of a baby, yet I couldn't move, I couldn't reach out to the child, then and now. I couldn't move, I couldn't bring myself to snatch the child back.

Techno, held the baby out in front of himself, his red eyes gazing straight into the baby's pale blue ones. She let out a small squeak of happiness as Techno brought her closer and began to cradle her close to his form, and without an ounce of hesitation, she nuzzled into him, and fell fast asleep.

We stood in silence, the two of us just staring at each other, before Techno let out a soft sigh, yet no remorse filled his voice. "I'm sorry," He spoke, "But I meant what I said. Life is going to be tough for her, especially here."

I let out a sharp laugh, almost in spite of him, "You think I don't know that? The only thing I can do here is try and give these kids hope! I'm not going to let you tell me something I already know."

He fell silent, his eyes drifting down to the floor, "Come with me." He whispered softly before taking a gentle hold of my arm and dragging me down the hallway with him. And although I felt disturbed by his oddly silent and calming nature, I couldn't find it in me to pull away, so I stayed by his side as we walked down the barren hallways.

"You remember the tale of Twin Flames, do you not?" He asked out of the blue, as he cast his gaze unto me as we arrived in front of a room that had not been touched for years. Tilting my head in response, I quickly shook my head 'no', for I had not heard the tale of Twin Flames.

"No, I haven't heard of that tale, but that's besides the point." I muttered as I sent a glare to the door, "Why bring me here?"

With a sigh, Techno opened the door and pulled me in, and I let out a shocked gasp. The once broken down, dirtied, and dusty room was now repaired, fairy lights hung down from the ceiling and pillows and blankets lined the room, creating a comfy atmosphere. "What did you do?" I whispered softly, as I noticed a cherrywood crib sitting off to the side of the room.

"Just did a little repairs with the others." He grumbled as he walked over and placed the sleeping infant into the crib before turning back around to me.

He began to walk across the room to the large stained glass window on the wall and stared out of it for a moment, before hesitantly sitting down in the plush bed of pillows and blankets. Directing his gaze to me, he made a 'come hither' motion with his hands.

Hesitantly stepping forward, I sat down next to him, the sunlight coming through the stained glass shining down upon him, making him glow like an angel descending from heaven. He looked troubled, and his face contorted into many things as he looked for the right words to utter, until finally, he spoke.

"Let me tell you the tale of Twin Flames."
