I know Mirei inside out, the good, the bad and the ugly. She is amazing and she often helps me out. However, sometimes when I tell something to her, she gives me a judgemental look and gives me a strange reaction. So sometimes I don’t want to hangout with her because it is very irritating for me to see her reaction.
Aimi is awesome. She is always considerate of me because even though I sometime judge her and give her strange expressions. But She sees past that. It doesn’t matter. We are still friends because Aimi is very understanding of my flaws.
Even though we are not in touch with one another often, we are still connected like sisters. It doesn’t matter how much time goes by. We are soul sisters.
