I do. They're the world to me. Two younger brothers, and I couldn't be prouder of them. Omaid is a fucking genius, and Mehrdad is the sweetest kid you'd ever meet. He wants to be a lawyer like me, and I'm fighting to talk him out of it.
There used to be four of us. I had a big brother, too. Pendar. We all loved the shit out of Pendar, but he made some bad choices. Got sent up for five years, served three. Came out harder, kept doing what he had been doing. So Mama and Father, they made the choice that they couldn't see him anymore. It broke their fucking hearts, but they had to.
