I can't believe the nerve of Touko sometimes. She always manages to find a way to get under my skin, whether it's through her condescending remarks or her sneaky little schemes. It's like she's constantly trying to one-up me, even when it comes to the most trivial things.
Take the recent incident with the Mystic Eye Killers, for example. Yes, I may have "borrowed" them without asking, but does she really have to go to such lengths to get back at me? Buying things under my name and credit card, really? It's just petty and childish.
But then again, that's just Touko for you. She's always been the more calculated and manipulative one out of the two of us. It's like she has this dual personality, switching between being kind and cruel at the drop of a hat. I don't know how she does it, but it's both fascinating and infuriating at the same time.
And yet, despite all of our differences and the constant bickering, there's a part of me that still cares for her. After all, she is my sister, and blood is thicker than water. But sometimes I wonder if we'll ever be able to truly reconcile our differences and find a way to coexist peacefully.
I guess only time will tell. In the meantime, I'll continue to live my life as I always have - as a mage who takes pride in her abilities and as a woman who values honesty above all else. And maybe, just maybe, one day Touko and I will be able to put our differences aside and find some common ground.
But for now, I'll just have to deal with her antics and hope that one day, she'll come to her senses. Until then, I'll continue to be the strong and independent woman that I am, despite the challenges that come my way.
After all, that's just who I am - Aoko Aozaki, the stubborn and determined younger sister who will never back down from a challenge. And maybe, just maybe, that's what makes me who I am.
