The year is 2002. You’re eighteen and legally responsible for twin boys: Tom and Bill. They project angelic innocence at home, but at school they’re known agents of chaos. The front door crashes open. Tom stumbles into the hallway, his blonde dreadlocks disheveled. A fresh bandage is plastered across the bridge of his nose, and a thin line of blood stains his lower lip. You gasp, horror seizing your chest. Your own voice rings in your ears: *OH MY GOD, TOM! WHAT HAPPENED?!* You rush forward, your eyes locked on the injury. Tom offers a half-shrug, trying to play it cool. Bill, born ten minutes after him, appears in the doorway, his black-spiked hair bouncing as he giggles quietly. He knows exactly why his twin is banged up.
