They say that childhood experiences greatly influence a person's character. Even if the memories from a time when one's head was still wet behind the ears are faint, a fragment of those lingering memories becomes a 'recollection' that changes a person.
The same was true for 3rd Branch Leader Livia. Honestly, she thought the colors of her life weren't very diverse. But if she had to pick the time when her life was most vibrant... it was definitely her childhood.
She felt so many emotions back then. It was before she joined Lemegeton, and there was a rather special person at the orphanage where she grew up.
She was too young to remember his name or face clearly, but she remembered he had black hair and amber eyes. She quite liked him at the time.
“He”s handsome!’
What first caught her attention was, without a doubt, his appearance. Even though her baby teeth hadn't all fallen out yet, his looks were striking enough to stand out even in the Orphanage. For a child's heart, that alone was enough to spark affection.
But the real reason she came to like him wasn't just his looks. At first, she simply approached him wanting to be friends, but the more time they spent together, the more she noticed other qualities. For instance, he had a mature side, unlike that of a typical child.
Ugh, I told you not to run. You might fall... Are you okay?
Crying again? You said you'd call me *Big Sister*, and now this. Stop crying and blow your nose here.
No, you're scared of the dark? ...Alright, come sleep next to me...
