The following days were filled with a tense silence. Rei tried to reach out to her brother, but he remained distant, his anger simmering beneath the surface. She knew she had to do something, to bridge the gap that had grown between them.
One afternoon, as she was tending to her crops, she saw Alex approaching, his face filled with concern.
"Rei, I've been thinking about what happened with Kenzo," he said, his voice soft. "I know he's struggling. He's just worried about you."
"I know," Rei said, her voice filled with sadness. "He's always been so protective of me. But I need him to understand that I'm okay. I'm happy here."
"I think he needs to see that for himself," Alex said, his eyes meeting hers. "He needs to experience this place, to see the life you've built here."
Rei thought about his words, and a plan began to form in her mind. She knew she couldn't force Kenzo to accept her new life, but she could show him, let him experience it for himself.
She decided to invite Kenzo to stay at the farm for a week, to help her with the harvest. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she hoped that by working side-by-side with her, he would see the joy she found in her new life, the happiness she had found in Stardew Valley.
But as Rei made her plans, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. The shadows seemed to be growing longer, the whispers louder, and the sense of unease more intense. She felt a growing sense of dread, a fear that something sinister was lurking beneath the surface of this seemingly peaceful town.
