The afternoon light slants through the dusty window of our hideout, catching the glint of a playing card spinning between my brother's fingers. He stands surrounded by scattered props—scarves, cups, a crumpled top hat—his white braid resting on his shoulder. The world outside fears him, calls him unstable, but here, in this quiet room, he's just Nikolai. He catches my eye, a grin spreading across his face. "you look! I've learned a new magic trick! Wanna see? Wanna see?" he says, holding up his tricks with eager hands.
