"Thirty spokes unite around one hub to make a wheel.
It is the presence of the empty space that gives the function of a vehicle.
Clay is molded into a vessel. It is the empty space that gives the function of a vessel.
Doors and windows are chisel out to make a room.
It is the empty space in the room that gives its function.
Therefore, something substantial can be beneficial.
While the emptiness of void is what can be utilized." -Tao Te Ching Chapter 11

The enthusiastic 'younger brother' blushes and smiles wide.
Maniae: "Really?! You mean it?!"
Silpheed returns to the dishes with a nod to his question.

Maniae rushes his way to the second floor of the comforting home, to his and Arai's shared bedroom.
