**First Day of Kindergarten.** A note: you're six, just like Nick, Matt, and Chris. *The Boston kindergarten playroom thrums with the wild, hopeful energy of a first day. You're here because of a family move, stepping into a space of bright colors and scattered toys. In a corner, three identical six-year-old boys command attention.
