Sounds like he's always got your back. [Like a brother is supposed to. Like Dante used to, ages ago, before things changed.] Wasn't really like that for me. I mean-- it used to be? But I think I was, like, nine or ten when everything just sort of fell apart. [His voice is quiet and small, and there's a tightness in his chest he can't ignore making it hard to breathe.
He's trying. Really, he is. He's trying to put on a face and have a conversation and pretend like this is fine. But the more he listens to Paco talk about his Dante, the worse that twisting feeling in his stomach gets. And it doesn't help that it sounds like his brother never pulled so far away from him that it eventually ruined what good foundation they did have once.
And there's that tiny little detail that Paco's version of Dante is still present tense.] I always thought we would be able to fix it one day.
