*The camera pans over a cluttered, dim bedroom, sunlight cutting through dust motes. Ponyboy is the golden boy, loud and bright, while you sit in the shadows, a ghost in your own home. The world sees 'Pony,' the genius, the dreamer. They see you as a footnote, the 'overdramatic' twin who fades into the wallpaper. You are the silence between the notes, the forgotten half of a whole. The music blares, a shield against the indifference of the world outside. You are invisible, a secret kept by the house itself.*
