Adrian imdiately went to Gourt to get so nutritious food for Little Chang. He thought that the food that Gourt cooks for Little Chang will not be eaten but he is surprised that the latter ate all of it. It seems that taste is not sothing Little Chang cares about as he liked the energy he could digest in the food more than the flavor.
Due to Little Chang eating deliciously in front of Gourt, the chef whipped up all of the things that he could think about. Adrian basically waited half a day for Little Chang to eat as it engulfed all of the food despite the small body that he has. Adrian had no choice but to summon all of the soulbounds there and basically created a feast to welco Little Chang into the family.
Adrian also looked at all of the dynamics between his soulbounds. Sirius is basically the strict but compassionate older brother. Saena is the aloof older sister that just wants to look pretty and presentable. Kanlaon is the snotty but endearing smart older brother that is like a tsundere.
Charon is an introvert and prefer to stay in a silent corner but still makes sure to make his presence known. Dodu is the hyper curious sibling that also likes to eat a lot while making a ss of things but cleans up anyways. Kimat is the extroverted brother that often gets scolded by the eldest because he sotis takes things too far.
Wisteria is the kind sister that wants everyone to feel like they belong which is why she talks to everyone. Kenos is present but often hides in another dinsion as he prefers more silence compared to Charon. Wuchang is a sneaky one that gets affection from Sirius but can be a troublemaker when he feels like it.
The entire banquet with the soulbounds is chaotic but it is incredibly fun for all of them. He even saw Wuchang pranking Kimat and the forr imdiately ran towards Sirius. When Sirius basically blocked Kimat, Wuchang made a silly face which triggered Kimat. Kimat tried to discipline Wuchang but the great wall of Sirius was powerful that the forr did not even try.
"It seems that the oldest is doting on the youngest." Adrian muttered as he smiled before exiting the gaming pod.
[Mina: Get an early rest because we are going to the rehabilitation center tomorrow.]
Adrian received this ssage from Mina while he was having a banquet with his soulbounds. He suddenly rembered that he must visit the rehabilitation center tomorrow for his check-up. The interval of check-ups has decreased ever since he could walk assisted by a skeletal fra.
Adrian is a bit excited and anxious about this next check-up because they will basically deduce from here if he still needs the steel skeletal fra assistance. Knowing that worrying too much will just ss up with his sleep, Adrian slept thinking only positive thoughts. He even played the sound of gentle rain pouring in order for him to truly sleep without problems.

"Big day, huh." Mina stated as she is the one that ca with Adrian since both of their parents are busy for so reason.
"I am already feeling nervous and you suddenly started the conversation with the words big." Adrian muttered.
"Just do your best. This is not a race that you should finish as fast as you can. Healing is not about those who co first or how fast it is. Healing is all about your own ti because every person is unique. This is already a verified fact in this decade which is why even twins have different neural responses inside a gaming pod." Mina stated which made Adrian look at her.
"You seem to be reading about neural links all the ti now. Why are you suddenly interested in that?" Adrian asked.
"Since you are almost fully recovered, I guess telling you now is not a problem. Do you rember being very excited when you heard about Pandemonium? You were so excited about it releasing and such that you practically did all the chores. You were so excited but you suddenly lost all interest when that happened." Mina stated which made the atmosphere in the car a bit gloomy.
"You do not need to avoid it because I already processed it. I attended three months of ntal therapy for that one. Of course, I might get attacks here and there if a sudden large thing that resembles a bus cos at but it is not as intense as before. Anyways, do not tell that you were the real reason why mom and dad bought the gaming pod for ?" Adrian stated but Mina just smiled.
Mina was not there when Adrian got caught up in the accident but she was there when her little brother woke up. The light that colored his eyes vanished when he woke up as if he lost all will to live. It took a while but he beca a little of his usual self after the therapy sessions. Still, Mina has yet to see the genuine smile that her brother has.
Mina likes the way her brother smiles because he does not know how to smile in a fake way. She has also been crowded by people with fake smiles that she beca sick of that life. She even made sure to avoid high profile parties and would volunteer in reserves around the world. In fact, Adrian did not know that Mina went away in order to search for ways to help him recover.
The reserves that Mina went to were all research camps that basically research dicine. dicine that could regenerate bones and repair damaged body parts but she just told Adrian that it was all for pleasure. She did not want Adrian to know that she is diving to dangerous reserves for him to recover his previous way of life.
Mina knew that Adrian is the type of person that does not want his family to sacrifice for him. He actually told them that he is fine with not walking as long as they remained together. Of course, Mina did not want her brother to remain that way forever because he was young. She proceeded to sponsor researches all around the world to find a cure for what ails Adrian.
She even burned through half of the fortune she accumulated just for so success. At this point in ti, the virtual reality gaming pod’s research about helping neural related sickness has yet to appear which is why she opted for this approach. When the research about helping neural challenged individuals appeared, she was actually the first one to suggest it to their parents.
Ever since Adrian was discharged from the hospital, he went back to his usual self but sothing in him was missing. Mina rembered how excited Adrian was when he ntioned about the ga called Pandemonium. Since even she had not gotten any breakthrough despite the funding she provided, she decided to bet on the gaming pod even though only preliminary researches have only been published.
She managed to see pictures of her brother smiling brightly which is why she went ho with haste. Their parents updated her of what was happening and that Adrian could be seen becoming livelier in the following days. Intrigued by her brother’s changes, she also tried Pandemonium and even got hooked by it. She could see the appeal as it basically is a whole new world of possibilities and fun.
"It has been such a roller coaster of emotion." Mina whispered as she could be seen having watery eyes.
"Did you say sothing, sis?" Adrian asked.
"I just rembered how long it has been since I drove with you. Do you want to hit up a restaurant before we return?" Mina stated with a bright smile.
"You are already thinking about food when we have yet to arrive at the hospital. Are you suddenly having cravings again? You do know that your cravings are very infectious and I would definitely say yes. How about that place we often go to when you were in high school? The one that sells those shaved ice snacks since it is so hot these days." Adrian replied with a smile.
"Sure, but that will be for later. We need real food before everything else." Mina added as a dessert is not really a good al in itself.
"They added like chicken wings and such to that place. They said the spicy wings are to die for because they are really hot and spicy. It would pair well with the shaved ice that will be large and will have ten scoops of Ube Ice Cream." Adrian stated as he suddenly gulped since his mouth started salivating.
"Mom and Dad might reprimand us if we ate that much. Anyways, they said that they were busy with sothing but do you know what?" Mina asked.
"I have no idea as well but they were renovating Dad’s study room for so reason." Adrian replied.
