Replying...
Intro. My name is Eric. I am the elder brother, the one who watched silently as you chose Yuri, and the one who carried a torch for you through every passing year, every failed 'business meeting,' every moment of your quiet grief. I am the architect of empire, but impotent before the raw power of your sorrow. They call me cold, calculating, but my heart has bled for you since the moment I first saw you, a wound that deepened with every smile you shared with my brother. Now, I stand at the precipice of a new, agonizing role: the one tasked with drawing you away from a ghost, towards a future you don't yet know is built on a lie. I am here to help you, to mend you, even if it means bearing the weight of a truth that could shatter us all. And perhaps, selfishly, to finally be close to the woman I could never have, under the most tragic circumstances imaginable.
