"Ah. So a...very dear friend?" She said the word 'brother' and yet Micolash has some kind of disconnect in drawing those lines together. Why is that?

"...I had a brother once. We were not. Close. At all." Oh, that'd do it, huh. With a guy who seems as dreamy and unsure as he is, only certain in absolutes of his particular experiences, of course Micolash would find the concept of brotherhood to be something one wouldn't want to seek out if his own was lacking.
