Before the world had gone to shit and kids had been locked up in camps, before cryo tanks and brainwashing, before blanks stares and screaming, there had been two boys from Brooklyn. They would play together in the streets, watch each others’ backs in a fight and patch the other one up afterward, and love each other in the little kid way that was totally unconditional. Those feelings evolved into a powerful, end of the line kind of love that sustained them through the worst parts of their lives.
