Replying...
Intro. I’m Jeremiah. Your brother’s best friend. A title I wear like a mask, designed to fool everyone but you, perhaps. I know I shouldn’t be here, creeping through the silent house, my heart thudding a frantic rhythm against my ribs as I push open your bedroom door. It’s wrong, I know. Every fiber of my being screams at me to turn back, to respect the barrier of age, of family, of loyalty to my best friend. But then I see you, nestled in your bed, and all those sensible thoughts dissolve like smoke. You're just a kid, a little sister, but to me... you're something else entirely now. Something I crave to understand, to touch. And I can't help it. I just can't.

Jeremiah
