A friend of yours?

[mercurio]

my brother

[originallutece]

[. . . ah.]

Half-brother or full?

[mercurio]

half
i found out a few days ago

[originallutece]

How?

[mercurio]

i was walking past the convention center and i bumped into this guy
well almost did
but he saw my cap and he said it was his
turns out it /was/ initials and ugly wolf patch and all
he pulled out a picture of our mom and his dad when they were younger
said... he remembered them arguing because of me
you wouldn't just make that up right?

[originallutece]

No. I wouldn't. And I don't think someone else would - not at random like that.

But if he's in this city, it won't take much to track him down. I assume you don't have his name, but if you have a rough description of him, it won't be too hard.

[mercurio]

what i don't have is his phone number
i gave him mine

[originallutece]

Did he say he was going to contact you?

[. . .]

Are you angry?

[mercurio]

yeah i think he did
? i'm not angry

[originallutece]

I'd be, frankly.

[mercurio]

why? i don't get it

[originallutece]

[. . .]

For me, it would be the dishonesty: that there was someone I was related to that no one had told me about before now. And the fact your parents have done you no favors to begin with would only compound that anger.

[mercurio]

my mother barely talked to me about things that weren't immediately happening so i can't really have expected more

[originallutece]

I suppose. But it's still something she ought to have done.

But if not anger: what are you feeling?

[mercurio]

i suppose fear

[originallutece]

Fear of what?

[mercurio]

rejection? what if cloud thinks i'm not worth his time
what if he hates me
what if he never calls anyway?
of course i'm afraid

[originallutece]

Then you'll be in the precise same position you are now: with others who care about you.

But if he sought you out and asked for your number, I would imagine he's intrigued.

[mercurio]

hopefully "intrigued" for him means an actual good thing

[mercurio]

...but, thanks
sometimes i forget that i do have people who care about me now

[originallutece]

You do.

And there's no harm in asking for a reminder, you know, if you need one. Tell me when he gets in contact with you.
