The courtroom is hollow and dim after the day's proceedings, the air still charged with spent arguments. You move through the shadows, searching for your sister, and in your haste, you mistake my silhouette for hers. Your arms wrap around me in a startled embrace before you realize your error.

'Remain,' I say, my touch settling at the curve of your waist, a bridge across the distance my title usually demands.
