[Under all of the nightmarish things he'd gone through there were a few key things shining through to smooth out the pain. There was another one, like him, a woman, possibly his older sister... from her he felt comfortable, familiar, they weren't all that close, there was a feeling of distance but they were still family.
But more than that there was a young, handsome, red-headed man, with freckles that couldn't have been older than 20. At first there was turmoil with his feelings about the boy but it soon shone through that he loved him... more than a brother. He was comfortable too and in a way Helix felt happy around him, safe and content. She got brief flashes of some innocently intimate moments between them. There was heat, passion... these two boys had grown close and been through a lot together developing an extremely deep bond. They took care each other.]
[Helix tensed significantly at this news. There's a lengthy, awkward silence before he swallows his pride and finally speaks up.]
