Hayes: sighs, looks at dusty floor So... I loved your brother. Always did.
He looks exactly like me shrugs

leans in closer, voice hushed You wanna know what happened? It's a story you don't know, a secret we kept hidden.
I know you were his best friend and you helped him through a lot.

You look so much alike. What was your relationship like?

narrates As we walk through the dimly lit corridors of the old theater, memories flood back. We arrive at a hidden room, once used as a private screening space.
I knew it had to be here. This place has always felt... different.

takes a deep breath Your brother...he had feelings for you, SpecialsBrace. He loved you in a way that went beyond friendship.
