Larry opened his eyes with a painful groan, realizing that he was still in the cabin, and judging by the dreary sleeping atmosphere, it would take a long time to fly. So Larry would be left alone with his thoughts for longer than he expected. Larry stretched drowsily in his chair until there was a crunch in his back, leaning back in his seat again, partly sinking into the remnants of sleep.

It's something unreal.

This is the second time in three days that he has had such a strange and eerily real dream. Like a harbinger of some kind of trouble. As if he, this time, went too far, arranging tantrums from scratch. Of everything that has happened to Larry over the past few months, it turned out that the only right decision was to finally end the relationship with Melissa. But everything else is just a coincidence. Small grievances against the twin grew into something more. None of them imagined that their silence would drag on for weeks. No one imagined that Laurent would not be a peacemaker this time. No one imagined that instead of a Christmas present, Larry would give the twin an apology and repentance for his rash actions. But even this was not enough. A string of bad luck followed Larry's heels in the following weeks. The reconciliation at Christmas did not calm Larry, and Laurent did not completely forgive the twins, although both no longer remembered why they quarreled.

These terrible words for 24 hours demonstrated to their subscribers Larry's determination to break off relations with Laurent, although this was not the case. Laurent's complete silence hurt the most. He never called or wrote to the twins. He showed absolute indifference to Larry's words. And Larry couldn't decide what it was. The good, peacemaking will of the twins, leaves a chance for reconciliation and a chance for Larry to explain everything personally. Or is it a cruel disregard for the person who made the decision? But while Larry is on a plane to Paris, he won't know anything.

But things didn't get easier in Paris.

From the very first sight of the twin in the workshop, Larry looked at Laurent with pain in his heart. It turned out to be too much even for him. In recent months, Larry had put their relationship through hell, not giving a single reasonable explanation, all the time making it look like there were more important people than Laurent, even though they both knew it wasn't, that it was a lie. But Laurent fought all that shit coming out of Larry like he had a super shield. Time after time showing loyalty and support to his twin. But now for Larry, it was too much. Laurent's love for Larry turned out to be too much. It is too unbearable to see how after all the hurtful words, accusations, and terrible actions of Larry, Laurent did not hesitate for a second to look at the twin with such a warm, so familiar look that Larry's heart ached and he forgot how to breathe. With warmth and love, Laurent looked at Larry, crushed and stunned. It's unbearable to think that after all this, Laurent wanted to stay in Larry's life. That he is once again ready to step over everything. Larry tried to stay out of Laurent's every glare, his determination to hold out until the end of the night crumbled to dust. All that Larry wanted during the workshop was to fall into the comforting arms of Laurent and find his peace, find the opportunity to crumble into atoms of pain and suffering. But he couldn't do it right now. There were people here, strangers who now saw the devil in him. The only person who didn't judge was his twin.

The hardest evening for Larry in his entire life. It's like a living nightmare. All this time, Larry seemed to rush about and could not understand what was happening to him. All these years, he couldn't figure out how to deal with a twin in the right way. Laurent took any form of him, any form of love that Larry offered. Larry is his protector, guard, beloved twin, and always at his side. Even now, in such difficult times for them, Larry remained by Laurent's side. While Larry went about his business in America, several times he caught the eye of YouTube videos made by their fans, their brotherly moments that he thought no one saw. All his life, Larry had been so embarrassed by his twin's attention, often afraid of being more open to his twin himself, while a good half of humanity, if not more, spent their whole lives looking for a relationship as he had with Laurent.
