Summary
There is a boy, drowning. He calls for his mother but she will not answer. She has not answered since the plane flew south, nor since she lost her own son in heartbreak. In another universe he celebrates his fourteenth birthday, then his thirtieth, and seventieth. In another universe his hands are allowed to be his.
He likes to look at sunsets and feed the stray cats in the alleyways. He likes when the leaves turn green and when someone gives him a hug so big that it feels like he’s going to burst.
His brother cradles the back of his head and weeps over his body. His name is a whispered prayer that spills from his lips and he repeats it over and over like a mantra. His skin, bloodless blue fresco: Saint Abel the Just.
There is a boy, dying. He is so afraid. He is so afraid. He is so–

Summary
“Raphael,” she said gently. “I know it’s difficult for you to use the past tense-”
“It’s not difficult, it’s just wrong,” Raph growled. He couldn’t look at her. This was the thing. The thing that made everyone look at him with pity. Like he was defective or broken. Like he was some stupid idiot who couldn’t get with the program.
But it was everyone else who was wrong. Raph was the only one who was living in reality.
“Leo. Isn’t. Dead.”
_________________It's been two years since Leo's disappearance. The city has erected a monument in Bryant Park to honor and mourn New York's bravest young hero.
While Leo's statue sits in the park, Raph sits in therapy. Everyone believes Raph is too traumatized, too wounded to process the loss of his brother.
But there's something Raph can't explain, something only he can feel, something everybody wants him to ignore. It whispers softly somewhere in the deepest corners of his mind: he's still here.
Raph listens.
