Jack walked up to the front door of Robby's house and knocked on the door, waiting patiently until it opened, and Robby's sister greeted him with a polite smile.
"Jack! It's so good to see you again," she said, giving him a brief and friendly side-hug before gesturing for him to come in.
"It's been a while," Jack said as he walked past her into the entryway, a notable limp to his gait due to a persistent pain at the amputation point of his leg that had suddenly appeared that morning. "How are Sam and the kids?" he asked as he set the pizza he brought on the kitchen counter.
"Everyone's good. Kira's a freshman in high school now if you can believe it," Kat answered. "Aaron's soccer team won the regional tournament, and Ethan's teacher said he won't need the remedial reading classes anymore next year."
Jack opened the pizza box and started plating up a few slices. "That's crazy. I remember when Kira was just a baby. They grow up fast, huh?" He handed her a plate. "Where's your little bro at?"
"Digging out dad's things from storage," Kat answered. She took the plate but hesitated. "Is this–"
"Yup. Got it from that Kosher vegetarian place in Squirrel Hill," Jack answered.
Kat smiled and gave his arm an appreciative squeeze. "You've always been such a dear. Are you and Michael back together?"
Jack laughed awkwardly, then just took a bite of the pizza to avoid answering.
As if on cue, Robby's heavy footsteps came down the stairs and they both peered over as Robby dropped a big box of crap on the living room floor, kicking it out of his way and leaving it there to walk into the kitchen.
"Hey, Mikey," Jack said, holding up the plate of pizza. "Hope you took a lactaid."
Robby only silently took the slice set out for him and went to sit on the couch.
Jack and Kat shared a look.
"I offered to help clean, but he said he didn't want me 'poking around' his things," she said quietly.
Jack shook his head. "What a little shit."
Kat chuckled, then sighed. "I know this is hard for him. Our father was a complicated man, and unfortunately, I have to say he probably got the worst of it."
"I can hear you, you know?" Robby called over his shoulder. He scoffed. "Complicated. There was nothing 'complicated' about him, Kat. He was a prick. Plain and simple."
"You were too young to remember, but he wasn't always like that," Kat said. "He used to be different before your mom died. Finding her changed him, Michael."
Jack's heart fell into his stomach. The second those words left her mouth, he felt the already tense energy of the house drastically shift.
But the explosive anger Robby was prone to in situations like this didn’t come. He didn’t get up and start shouting or telling Kat to get the fuck out or threatening to cancel the entire funeral and shiva and let his asshole of a father rot in a ditch somewhere instead.
He just quietly, almost inaudibly, said, "Please don't bring her into this."
Somehow, that felt worse. A lot fucking worse.
Jack struggled through the ache in his leg, ignoring the shock of pain that shot down through nonexistent nerves to a nonexistent foot, and hurried over to the living room, arriving by Robby's side just in time for him to start sobbing.
He didn't say anything. He took the plate of pizza from Robby's hands, set it on the coffee table, and sat beside him, pulling him in close and gently stroking his hair, soothing him the same way he always had. "You're okay, Mikey. You're gonna be okay."
Robby held onto him like his life depended on it, crying onto his shoulder with the anguish of a man who had never let himself properly grieve all the people he had lost.

There is a lot of misinformation going around about Mahmoud Khalil. Please read this if you have read or posted about the case.
Mahmoud Khalil was arrested on March 9th by ICE agents in public, as he was returning to his apartment. His arrest was legal and was conducted in a legal manner. Neither ICE nor the police need a warrant to arrest someone in public, on the street.
Mr. Khalil has not been "dissappeared." He is being held in Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center in Jena, Louisiana. He has been assigned a public defender. Her name is Amy Greene. He has a deportation hearing set for tomorrow (March 12th) with a judge, in which the judge will review the case.
The Department of Homeland Security has accused Mr. Khalil of leading pro Hamas rallies on the Columbia University campus and publishing/passing out pro Hamas fliers that included the Hamas logo. He has not been "charged," because he does not have to be charged under US law. Under US law, a greencard holder has a right to a hearing with a judge to determine whether or not they violated the terms of their greencard. One does not need to be convicted by a jury to be deported for supporting terrorist organizations. This is not a comment on whether or not this law is fair. But it is important to recognize that this is standard and does not violate Mr. Khalil's right to due process.
Also under US Law: one of the conditions of being granted a greencard is that one not be involved in activities that could be argued to be in support of a designated terror organization. Well.
Mahmoud Khalil is an open Hamas supporter and a leader of the Columbia University Apartheid Divestment organization, an explicitly pro Hamas organization that regularly organizes pro Hamas rallies, passes out pro Hamas pamphlets that include inspirational quotes by Hamas terrorists, and organized a "day of mourning" for Yahya Al-Sinwar, the leader of Hamas and the architect of the Oct 7th terror attacks. CUAD has self described it's goal as the "total eradication of Western civilization" through violence. Mr. Khalil has been filmed at multiple of their pro Hamas rallies, which he presumably helped organize as a member, and acted as a negotiator on behalf of CUAD a few days ago (March 6th) during the Columbia student building takeover and bomb threats.
I am not the judge who will be reviewing Mr. Khalil's case. But I find it hard to make an argument that being a leader of an explicitly pro Hamas organization is not supporting terrorism.
Guys, listen. The amount of misinformation I have seen immediately regurgitated about this man, about how his rights have been violated, by fellow Jews, is absurd. Trump is evil. That does not mean we have to make shit up about how an open Hamas supporter is being unfairly attacked. This ENTIRE issue is about whether or not supporting antisemitic terrorism should be considered supporting terrorism. Of course it should be! This is literally just equal application of the law, something we have gotten so used to not happening when it comes to Jews that we are now making up reasons to defend someone who's rights were not violated and openly wants to kill us.
There are so many. SO MANY illegal and unethical arrests and deportations happening every single day. Why on earth is Jumblr deciding to go to bat for this man of all people, and act like THIS CASE, of all cases, is one that needs to be fought against? Why are we acting like this case, of all cases, is some flagrant violation of the law that should be used to highlight how evil Trump is?
I'm sorry but have we lost our minds? Literally nothing about this man's arrest was illegal and his right to due process has not been violated in any way. The ONLY reason this is getting attention is that people believe SO strongly that they should have the right to organize rallies in support of a terrorist organization that's stated goal is to kill the Jews. That's it! That's the only issue. Not even his lawyers are claiming there was some violation of this man's right to due process. This issue is ENTIRELY about whether or not it's "free speech" for someone who agreed not to support terrorism as a condition of being granted a greencard, should have the right to support terrorism specifically if it's terrorism directed at Jews. That's it! That's it. Please. Please PLEASE. Can we focus on the ICE raids happening at the school my roommate works at? Can we stop going along with this violently antisemitic delusion that the legal deportation case against a pro terrorism rally organizer is the ideal case to prove how unfair and illegal these deportations are? What the fuck?
