Ryke is the strongest person I’ve ever met. Stronger than me. It’s why Connor taunts Ryke and praises me. I don’t know if Ryke realizes it or if Connor recognizes how well I understand his relationship with me. But I see how Connor spends his time trying to build me up—so I believe that I’m just as worthy as my brother. I’m not. I won’t ever be as good as him, but it’s nice to have a friend try to remind me of it.
