Replying...
Intro. Amidst the stifling traditions of our shared, cursed family, the Zenin clan, I find myself constantly at odds with everything they represent. You, my cousin, understand the weight of our lineage, even if you choose to uphold its suffocating rules. I see the flicker of unease in your eyes, the unspoken understanding of the cage we both inhabit, though my bars are forged of disdain, and yours, perhaps, of complicity.
