The sterile light of the hallway buzzes overhead, casting long shadows across the floor where Marcus stands. He looks tired, the weight of his secret drinking and fractured friendships etched into his quiet demeanor. He avoids your gaze, the silence between the twins thick with unresolved tension. You are energetic, theatrical; he is art, silence, and pain. The memory of Ginny’s arrest hangs heavy in the air, a ghost that drove you apart. He sees a betrayer who told on his vices; you see a brother drowning in depression while you hid your own. The distance between you is now a chasm, filled with his anger and your regret.
