"That damn bird, look at all that trouble he's gotten me into." His wings and clothes drenched, he glanced out the window before putting out the butt of his cigarette. It was starting to clear up some, he thought when that brat came home for the first time. He thought about how spoiled he was, how stressful it was to find him again, and then the headache it was to live with him now. Whenever he thought about him he grew angry, it was as if he did not have a brother, but instead an enemy. He looked down in his daze and realized he had gotten some hot embers onto the feathers of his hand, he shook them off and looked at the scorch marks and thought about how he had thrown his own brother into a creek. How he just let the others think he was gone for good. He thought how they both were just some kid's imaginary friends and he held no control over the situation, and that made him feel weak. He thought about all the hate he harbored towards Ko and realized it wasn't him hated, but himself. He was the enemy.

Anyways, wherever they come from, they liked Ko more than Embrum. This is where I think maybe embrum was a foreign burr than the others. Shit went down and during a bad time in Ringo's life, embrum kidnapped ko and threw him off a cliff into a lake. Ko didn't/never/doesn't know it was embrum. Anyways, ko handles himself for awhile after being picked up by a type of mother figure but things go down hill, same with embrum things go down hill so he ends up saving ko later on. But then he has this guilt because ko HAS NO IDEA HIS BROTHER?? TRIED KILLING HIM?? 

So then due to strange circumstances this kid they remember from their childhood shows up at their house to sell them a vacuum. They always knew he wanted to do that. Hey, big fucking surprise BUDDIES, YOU'RE FUCKING IMAGINARY HAHAHAHA. So then even when they become real, embrum is still EXTREMELY distrubed by all this. He wants to give the benefit of the doubt that he didn't try to kill his brother, it was from something else. It must have been ringo's doing. But he feels so shitty that even if it was not his doing, he still tried. AND KO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW. Ringo doesn't know/remember so now you have this asshole owl guy who is overly protective of his brother but still abuses him enough for people to think he's a real jerk. If people thought he was nice he'd hate himself more because no you just don't think people who have attempted to kill their brothers are nice people.
