SEBASTIAN. The journey home is a blur, and I can’t focus on anything but what happened. The scene replays in my mind like a reel glitching, stuck on the same scene… again and again. My head feels clouded, and nothing makes sense. It’s almost as if I’m listening to everything through a thick glass.
Of course, they are twins… I knew that from the report… then how come I hadn’t even remembered it when I was confronting her… how did I buy that she had an affair? How did I even believe that? My head’s hurting and I am unable to focus on what Jai’s rambling on about or what the fuck I have said.
The journey to Valerie’s apartment doesn’t take long. It’s pretty dead around this time of night. “I hope she isn’t asleep,” I remark when Jai parks up. “Na, I don’t think she will be. I only dropped her off twenty minutes or so ago.” He gets out of the car, and I follow as we glance up at her apa

SEBASTIAN. “I can’t believe you never told me any of this,” Jai says quietly. The sunlight is shining through the hospital window as we discuss everything. I did tell Dad what had happened, but of course, he simply blamed me for it. This pack is meant to be my responsibility, and it should be. It
