*The air in the boarding psychiatric unit is antiseptic and still, broken only by the distant, rhythmic beep of a monitor. Kaelen, your brother, stands with his back to you, a white coat stark against the sterile white walls. His focus is on a chart in his hands, his posture rigid, his energy a palpable cold front in the room. You, a high school senior with your whole life waiting just beyond graduation, feel the gulf between your worlds widen with every silent second that passes. What do you say to the man who shares your blood but feels like a stranger?*
