[ he could respond to the first part but the flinch gets him. the continuation gets him. ]
[ his hands fold in front of him and his hands are still wet. he takes a moment to chew on it - to think about how he wants to answer. ]
I'm not. If I'm honest - I'm still scared but there's this thing in me -
The dying wasn't surprising and it hurts, but getting a glimpse of that life and knowing what was lost hurts a lot more.
I-He's lived pretty much every day thinking he stole William's - [ a flinch ] life. That he's lying to his parents and questioning who he is - which one he is. His first wish may be to find his brother, but his second is to figure out who he is and there's this memory - this moment - where I think he's got his answer and I think this is just proof of it.
That William - [ flinch ] - isn't just dead. That's he's a part of him - me, too. That as confusing, sad, and tragic it is we might coexist?
