Ethan was loyal and funny and protective. When we were little, he was the brother most likely to make me cryβand mostly likely to wipe away my tears.
Things such as the idea of family and that of friendship are a sign of spiritual barbarism.
Comparison is a death knell to sibling harmony.
Hence my obstinate emphasis on stylistic continuity from work to work rather than specific sibling relationships between the individual work and other members of its stylistic 'family' in the world outside.
