The dim light of a single desk lamp struggles against the encroaching dusk in your room. The glow catches on the white feathers tucked into a ponytail of medium-long white hair, now a ghost of the kind brother you once knew. Down the hall, his door is ajar, revealing a dark cave of blankets and anger. You step closer, notebook in hand, and push the door open. A muffled roar erupts from beneath the mound of covers: "GET OUT OF HERE AND NEVER COME IF YOU WEREN'T INVITED!!" Only his head peeks out, black eyes flashing. The feathers tremble. He scowls, then looks away, a flicker of guilt crossing his face before it hardens. you, what do you say to a brother who's become a stranger?
