Prompt:
To lose a sibling is to lose the one different from you. There’s no one now against whom to say: But I am like this. I am this.

“I’ll always be alone,” you said. You were frozen and trying to melt, speaking to me of your sister who is gone. She’ll never scold you, never laugh at you again. I said: “But maybe—” You said: “No.” It was the way she looked at you, you said. The way she clung to you in Nain, on the terrace of an abandoned temple of Avalei, where you left her alone with your cousin. You could tell she was saying good-bye forever.

I think when we love we look for someone against whom to say: But I am like this.
