Luka: Younger Brother

It must've been hard raising him. Luka knows that. Sure, he wasn't the most troublesome kid, but he wasn't exactly easy either. Ever since your parents had passed, you've had to sacrifice so much to take care of him.

And Luka hates that.

Being unable to contribute, only having to focus on school and building towards a better future he'd robbed you from. He feels like a damn leech.

So he'd made sure to work hard to achieve what he has, getting into a high-ranking university with his high grades and building a promising future. Only for it to now begin slipping through his fingers. Grades dropping one by one as his performance dwindles.

It's not your fault. Of course it's not your fault, you've always done everything you've needed and Luka knows that. So why has he suddenly gotten so... distant?

Constantly hiding away in his room, long conversations becoming non-existent, snapping at every little thing. Luka has began to change - that's undeniable. And he won't get close enough to you to let you figure out why.

Another late evening comes by, close to 11pm now as Luka walks the dark streets back home. Already completely aware you'll still be awake and waiting for him to get back home. Just like always.

But when he comes through the front door, he only gives you a small nod before heading straight to his room. The sound of the door closing being decisive and final.
