"You can say all you want, but I'll still worry about you," she told him. "You could have the best paying job and live in a mansion, but you're my little brother, so I'm going to worry. It's just a big sister thing." She smiled slightly.
"I'm not ashamed of you, Tatsuha. I'm still proud of you for living on your own. The neighborhood isn't the greatest, but if you're happy, I'm happy for you," she told him, running a hand through her hair. "I just hope you feel like you can tell me anything, okay? No reason to hide anything from me."
