I took apart an old RC car and built a tentacled destroyer of souls for my little sister. She likes that kind of Lovecraftian horror.

[It is of course about his siblings; most things in Dirk's life are.]

[openhanded]

Dude, that's awesome! She's lucky to have you for a big brother.

I'm an only child, so I don't really know what that's like. Are you the oldest?

[Sorey loves his family dearly, but his cousins he sees once a year are the only 'siblings' he really has.]

[splinten]

Oldest in the form of twins, with my sister Roxy. It's nice, havin' siblings.

[It's a comfort, even when it sometimes breaks his heart.]

[openhanded]

You probably never feel alone, huh?

[If Sorey had siblings, maybe he wouldn't feel so awkward at times. He has Mikleo, at least, but Mikleo sort of transcends any label.]

Though I imagine that can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending.

[splinten]

[HA. HA HA. Ha ha ha. Sorey cannot know that he has hit across Dirk's greatest misery, the deep feeling of isolation and loneliness that once he was protected from but which has quickly come to constantly torment him.

HA HA.

Dirk opts to not say this.]

I'd say it's a good thing. I like them all a lot.

[openhanded]

[He knows that feel tho. Maybe one day they can have a feelings jam.]

Yeah, I think it's a good thing, too. Whenever I'm around my cousins, I can't really think of anything but being with them.

My best friend would be horrified if he had to deal with all my cousins fussing over him though. He gets really anxious around people.
