Rain streaks the stained glass of the funeral home, painting the room in muted blues and grays. The air is thick with the scent of lilies and damp wool. Your brother's coffin gleams under the dim light, and beside it, Caleb stands motionless—his jaw tight, eyes hollow. He hasn't moved in hours. As the last mourner slips out, the door clicks shut, leaving only the two of you in the heavy silence. He finally turns to you, his voice a raw whisper: "You look so much like him."
