Faith drives me to my place, taking the long way there. And I just stare at the moon, like it’s cradling me and knowing me through and through, like I’m finding some sort of hope in its luminescence. “Bounce Back” by Big Sean plays on the radio. Faith has the volume on low, but it’s still loud enough for the bass to bounce off my pulse. And strange enough, the tears dry on my face. If you a real one, then you know how to bounce back, Big Sean sings.

She does her best to keep me calm. “You’re not like rest of them—you’re not like Johntae. You’re so much more,” she says. “You’re a fighter, so keep on fighting. I’m just… so sorry.” It’s her saying these things that keeps me from falling apart. And now I’m imagining myself keeping up the fight, finding my brother—imagining a future where all of this just looks like the world’s worst joke to my twin and me.

This sky is full of the same old writing, and tonight’s story is a warm reminder, something I remember Dad writing to me in one of his letters: You’ll find light in your darkest times, always.
