Roughly a year ago....
"Hey, Branzy?" Ivory calls to the door, hoping her brother can hear her.
Walking out of the room with sleepy eyes, Branzy collapses onto the couch. "What? It's 11 pm..." He mumbles tiredly.
"Look, I know you're not gonna like this, but I got another call from work." Ivory explains, "I'll be gone on a really long mission, maybe even a year."
"WHAT?! WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING?" Branzy yelps, obviously not expecting that. He sits up from the couch, now wide awake.
Ivory sighs and walks over to him. She sits down and slowly wraps her arms around him. "Tomorrow..." She whispers.
Branzy presses into the hug, silent for a moment. He just lets the words sink in. The only noise in the whole house being the sweet serenade of cicadas outside. (Ehehehe, I love this alliteration.)
"Tomorrow...?" He echoes quietly.
"I know this is not what either of us wanted, but my job is the only thing supporting us right now. Mom and Dad aren't around anymore to protect us." She chokes out.
Branzy's mind is swarmed with guilt. As a redstone engineer, he has very important skills, yet no jobs require them. The least he can do is clean the house and help Ivory prepare for missions, but now she won't even be there for a whole year.
Ivory, sensing his emotions, runs her hand through his hair. "Branz, just promise me you won't get into trouble. I know you want to find some work to help out, but don't get stuck in any dangerous business, ok?"
"K..." He mumbles.
"Oh, and remember what I told you about other servers?"
"Yeah, yeah. They're all evil and bad and stuff since they're not living space servers..." Branzy replies, eyes drooping.
"I also told you that those servers house killers. The death penalty servers." (So, deadly servers are used to house death penalty inmates and let them duke it out.)
Ivory looks back down at her brother when he doesn't reply. Seeing his closed eyes, she props him up against a few pillows. That early morning, Ivory left her brother asleep on the couch. He hadn't seen her since.
