And there are two brothers, together. My heart actually skipped a beat and I burst into tears. This fic was so hard to read because you instilled it with so many emotions that were always there, always on the surface, even if you never acknowledged them, and they always leapt out at me. I think it's the way you write and it's amazing. This fic was amazing. It was painful and harsh, but real and agonisingly present, poignant and lyrical and bittersweet.

The epilogue was the perfect, perfect touch, having the boy return the photo. You may have broken my heart but it was so very much worth it.
