[It was a normal day, like any other. Cisco's standing outside the lab, talking to Caitlin about one thing or another, laughing about something she said. He actually misses the first part, asking where he's been, too lost in his conversation to catch the calling across the way.] I know right? It's crazy, he was...
[[But then he's close enough to call Caitlin's attention away for a moment, glancing over Cisco's shoulder and something about the look on her face gets Cisco's attention.
And this time, he hears him. "You're being brave, hermano."
Cisco is frozen to the spot for a too-long moment, certain he must be hearing things, and Caitlin's face was the only thing that confirmed he couldn't be wrong. But it takes him a long time, probably longer than he'd like to admit, to find the ability to breathe again, to finally turn to face him.]
Dante?
[Distantly, he's aware Caitlin's excused herself, but it doesn't matter just now. He's too focused on his brother standing in front of him. Looking at him might have been a bad idea. He barely keeps himself together most days, but this? This threatens to make him crumble on the spot. He hasn't even pieced it together, that this isn't him. Not his brother. Not really. He's just standing rooted to the spot, looking like he's seen a ghost.]
