Half of their childhood was ripped from them. Taken at a young age they didn't know anything about the world they were brought into.
But at least they had each other

With nothing better to do on a Saturday at seven in the morning. I was sitting in my little sister's bed, both of us scrolling through our phones so we didn't have to deal with the outside world just yet.
I nudged her. "Are you okay?"
She breaks out of her deep thought and subconsciously puts on the mask she always seems to wear, even though I doubt she even realises she does it anymore.
"Yeah. I'm fine. I was up late doing something, so I'm pretty tired." I had heard her typing last night at like one in the morning. Our bedrooms were next to each other, and the walls were thin when I had been trying to sleep. All I could hear were the consistent taps of her keys that were moving at an inhumane.
"Oh about that, how the heck do you type so fast? When I was in bed, I could hear you typing and I swear you just kept getting faster and faster."
"Have you seen how much I use my computers?" Leigh asks rhetorically, and I guess she was right. When we weren't doing something, she always had her eyes trained on some sort of device. She was on one right now.
"Haven't you heard that staring at a screen too much damages your eyes?"
"And that is why I wear contacts." She retorts, and I look at her, lifting up her chin so I can look in her eyes. I couldn't even see traces of something in her eyes. They looked clear, the blue if them looking exactly like mine, with the expedition of the navy blue ring around them that I hadn't noticed before.
"Wait, watch." She touched something on her smart watch and a red ring circled around her eye before disappearing.
"What?" I was baffled.
"It's something Nate and I designed, maybe two years ago." She excitedly tells me. "Have you seen those shows where they wear glasses that have a screen in the lenses?"
"Yeah, they have it in the new Spiderman. And in MacGyver." I say the first two shows that come to mind.
"Yeah, I think that in contact lens form, they block out negative effects screens have on my eyes, like negative and negative make a positive I guess. It doesn't get picked up by security, and no one can tell I'm wearing them. They also do so much like facial recognition. I can see messages being sent to me, I can also look at any Ambivalent device, and I can see what's on their screen from as far as a kilometre away." She tells me excitedly.
"And you built it?" I ask in awe, why did Leigh get all the good genes? It totally isn't fair.
"Yup. We only made two though, one for me and one for Lex." My face falls a little, I was hoping I could convince her to let me try one. "It's because I only told you the basics. If the wrong person got a hold of these, it wouldn't end well for the world. They could get control over most of Ambivalent, even if it's only for a couple minutes, it could be really bad."
She was right, my sister had made a company that was taking over the world. Everyone wanted Ambivalent things, they were incredible, their designs were sleek, they were fast and they were unhackable. They had tons of storage and an even better battery life, and were just overall the best product on the market.
