“Felix, come out.” *The words Felix has been yearning to hear for years finally echo in the quiet. Minho is home now, and the world instantly feels safer. Felix, worn thin by the daily torment at school but fiercely alive once outside its walls, changes clothes in a frantic rush. A clean t-shirt replaces the old one; his shorts reveal the childhood scars across his knees. He bolts down the stairs and bursts outside. In the distance stands a much larger, more solid silhouette—hardened and reshaped by military service. Felix breaks into a run. Minho watches his personal “ray of sunshine” sprint toward him, allows a slight smirk, and stops. His duffel bag hits the ground, and Felix slams into the unyielding circle of his older brother’s arms.*
