(ID: Pic 1: "All my stories are about being left, all yours about leaving. So we should have known."
Pic 2: "Siblings are a weird concept. You are my greatest enemy- my most loyal friend; I hate you- please don't cry, I can't stand to see you hurt. No one can drive me as crazy as you- I need your comfort. You know exactly how to hurt me- only you understand me. On some days I don't want to see you- I would fight the world for you."
Pic 3: "Hansel and Gretel at a river, quenching their first. Gretel asks her brother to look at her. She wets her thumb with her tongue and uses it to wipe a bit of dirt from his forehead and cheek. He watches her work and thinks: 'Our live will never again be in such close proximity. It will always be a moving away from each other, from this point on.' Which is to say, to love a sibling is to anchor your life to a series of sanctioned departures."
Pic 4: "Sibling relationships outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship."
Pic 5: "Not only had my brother disappeared, but--and bear with me here--a part of my very being had gone with him. Stories about us could, from then on, be told from only one perspective. Memories could be told but not shared."
Pic 7: "'Where is your brother,' he asked, and Cain responded with another question. 'Am i my brother's keeper', 'You killed him.' 'Yes, I did, but you are the one who is really to blame. I would have given my life for him if you had not destroyed mine. It was a question of putting you to the test.'"
Pic 8: "This is what I want: I want to grab my brother's hand and run back through time, losing years like coats falling from our shoulders."
Pic 9: "Oh my brother, my brother, my brother. Who have you become in the wake of all that's happened here?"
Pic 10: "It began to rain hard, and his tunic was soon soaked, and not a trace of blood was left, besides, if asked, he could always say it was lamb's blood. Yes, he said out loud, but Abel was no lamb, he was my brother, and I killed him."
Pic 11: "Cain complex: a complex xharacterized by rivalry, competition, and extreme envy or jealousy of a brother, leading to hatred."
Pic 12: "You are shaking fists & trembling teeth. I know: you did not mean to be cruel. That does not mean you were kind."
Pic 13: "And what can I tell you my brother, my killer. What can I possibly say? I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you. I'm glad you stood in my way."
Pic 14: "How can I make sure he is safe forever, how can I make sure he and makes it and does well, why am I so scared, why do I get so proud so easily."
Pic 15: "I wish pain and absence didn't take the place of a person. He was supposed to be here. I was supposed to know him and take care of him."
Pic 16: "There are ways he's quite unlike you. He's more vivid. Brighter colors and deeper darks. Higher and lower temperatures, like he lives closer to the pole. You collect little fragments of the spectrum."
Pic 17: "I no longer had any trouble understanding the softness of my brother's look, and the ever stronger, fiercer desire I felt to melt into him. With me, he acted like a creator."
Pic 18: The house seems to circle around you slowly. I circle around you, a wild animal near a fire. I remember I would kill for you. I remind myself it won't be necessary."
Pic 19: "It seems to me that the dead only return for love or for revenge. Who did you come back for?" End ID.)
