imagine you love your brother so much and it's been 2 years of you watching him barely functioning as a person because of his grief (a grief you too feel! but not like he does). imagine he makes the worst decision you can imagine, for a company you don't trust, and suddenly your brother isn't your brother as you know him for a third of the day. and now there's a version of your brother out there that you'll never know. and he says it's helping but you know him better than that. imagine things start to change. Right as you've just given birth. imagine your betrayal at the party - you let this woman into your house, see you vulnerable, hold your baby! and you know this because the version of your brother you've never met broke out to talk to you specifically, to cry out for help, to help you and the version of your brother who trapped him in a basement out of the goodness of his heart. and you listen. and you do your best to protect him, even from your brother. and you don't trust milchick and you don't trust natalie and you tell your brother to be careful.
