"He's… a twin?" Orion raised an eyebrow, surprise flickering across his face as he turned to Desmond.
"Yeah," Desmond replied quietly, his voice heavier than before as he released a long, tired sigh. "But his twin brother is no more." He paused, as if weighing whether to continue, then added, "He died five years ago. That loss shattered Marco completely. He hasn't been the same since."
Ouch! That hurts. Orion thought inwardly with sadness written all over his face.
Desmond leaned back slightly, crossing his arms. "Even though we're brothers and fight all the time....argue, clash, sometimes even hate each other....Marco's situation was different. And even though Louise has always been cold… he couldn't stay that way with Marco. Not after what happened."
Orion listened closely, his expression slowly softening.
