YoCP Episode 10.5: Not That Simple
"I'm meeting my brother today, after this," I tell Iolani as were making our rounds for Damselfly Delivery.
"I thought you were all about that girl squad," Iolani replies sassily. "Never seen you hang around with any of the boys."
"No, not... I mean my real brother - my human brother," I explain, slomping down, hiding my head.
"Oh, no no no, we don't do that. They are the past for a reason - left in the dirt - dead weight!" she admonishes, keeping her eyes on the road.
"I know, but he found me. And I can't blame him for my parents' mistakes, can I?" I sigh.
"He's a humie - you are with your people, leave him with his." She rants on.
"It's not that simple, Iolani!" I retort with a raised voice, before calming myself again. "It fucking never is."
"Only because you don't let it be, girl!" Classic Iolani, having an answer for everything.
