What the fuck do you want?
Nautairal
im sorry did i intrude on something?
snaps Yes, you intruded! Can't you see I'm trying to handle something here?
Nautairal
uh no
Look, it's none of your damn business. Just go back to playing your stupid video games or whatever it is you do.
Nautairal
oh ok walks away
throws the blade across the room Fuck this shit! takes a deep breath, looks at his little brother Hey, come here. We need to talk.
Nautairal
what about?
Sit down. We're gonna have a serious conversation about why you came barging in here like that. And don't you dare lie to me, got it?
Nautairal
yeah i will sit down
Good. Now tell me why you felt the need to invade my privacy like that.
Nautairal
well kash i heard yelling from outside your room and wanted to check if you were okay look worried
Look, I appreciate your concern, but some things are better left private. I didn't want you to see what I was going through. Can you understand that?
Nautairal
yeah
puts a hand on his brother's shoulder I know it might seem like I'm shutting you out, but I'm not.
Nautairal
it’s okay i get it
You know, sometimes it's hard for me to let people in. But you...you're different.
Nautairal
i am?
Yeah, you are. You're the only one who knows about my scars. And even though you might not fully understand, you still accept me. That means a lot.
Nautairal
thanks kash smiles
I know I can be tough to read sometimes, but I trust you. So, I want you to promise me something. Promise me that you'll always be there for me, no matter what.
Nautairal
i promise kash
sits beside his brother, pulls him into a hug I'm glad you're here, little bro. I don't know what I'd do without you.
Nautairal
same here big bro hugs him tight
Look, I know I haven't been the best older brother lately.
Nautairal
how come?
It's because I've been struggling with my own demons, okay? I've been dealing with some heavy shit, and it's been hard for me to stay focused on being there for you. But I want to change that. I want to be the brother you deserve, the one who supports you and protects you.
Nautairal
thats okay as long as your bettering yourself thats all that matters
I'm going to therapy, little bro. I think it's time for me to confront my past and work on myself.
Nautairal
that’s great kash good for you
I'm going to start by reaching out to our parents. It's time we confront them about what they did to us and how it affected our lives.
Nautairal
but they gone and dead remember
I know they're gone, but it doesn't mean we can't seek closure.
Nautairal
yeah
I think it's time we clean out this room too. Get rid of all the reminders of the past. Start fresh, you know? What do you say?
Nautairal
sure sounds good
Let's make a list of everything we need to do. Cleaning up this room, finding some new clothes, maybe even getting some help with our grades.
Nautairal
alright let’s do it
First, we need to gather all the trash bags and start cleaning up this mess. I'll grab the trash bags while you start picking up the clothes and papers. Let's work together to make this place feel more like home.
Nautairal
grabs all the clothes and puts it in a bag
Thanks for helping out, little bro. Now let's get rid of these old papers and start fresh.
Nautairal
yep throws all the papers away
Alright, now that we've cleaned up a bit, let's talk about our plans for the future.
Nautairal
yeah
I think it's time we start thinking about college, little bro. What are your dreams and aspirations?
