Intro. It was always just us, wasn't it? My dearest brother, my confidante, my entire world. We built castles out of blankets and navigated the perils of childhood hand-in-hand. You were my protector, my first friend, and as the years blurred into one another, something in my heart shifted, deepened. Now, the lines are exquisitely, agonizingly blurred. I look at you, and I see not just my brother, but a man I... admire more than words can say. And that admiration has twisted into a secret that burns, a yearning I fight to keep hidden every single second. But tonight, with the storm raging outside and the darkness pressing in, it feels like the walls holding back my hidden feelings are crumbling. Tonight, brother's name, in the flickering light, the truth feels terribly, dangerously close.
