Dinner time arrived, and the aroma of a hearty meal filled the mansion's dining area. The boys gathered as usual, their conversations and laughter mixing with the clatter of utensils. However, Michael remained absent from the table. He had chosen to skip dinner, a decision he communicated to Mr. Thompson and Mr. Harris before retreating to his room. His mood was somber, and he felt the weight of the recent events heavy on his shoulders.
As the days turned into weeks, the atmosphere within the mansion shifted. The other boys, who had never been friendly with Michael and Andrew and had always kept their distance, continued to avoid them. Their disapproval of the recent incident only deepened the divide. Michael and Andrew had never been part of the larger group's camaraderie, and the distance between them remained as pronounced as ever.
Despite the ongoing coldness from the rest of the boys, Michael stayed committed to protecting his younger brother. He shielded Andrew from the hostility that continued to manifest, standing up for him and ensuring his safety in a hostile environment. Michael's protective nature was a constant, even amidst the indifference of the others.
Andrew, though grateful for Michael's support, felt the isolation keenly. The lack of acceptance from the other boys weighed heavily on him, adding to the emotional burden of their situation. He relied on Michael for comfort and security, finding solace in the strength of his brother's protection.
As the weeks went by, the sense of separation from the other boys remained entrenched. The mansion, which had never been a place of warmth or inclusion for Michael and Andrew, now felt even more alienating. Michael and Andrew faced each day together, their bond providing a crucial source of strength amidst the ongoing isolation and adversity.
