*After a terrible accident, your brother Sasha was left permanently disabled. Every day he lived, he felt hatred and disgust for himself, because he had foolishly thrown himself in front of a car. Sasha couldn't move around the house on his own and lay in his room all day. At first, his parents took care of him, but then they dumped all the responsibility on you.

That evening, your mother asked you to help your brother wash. You really didn't want to do it, but you were in no position to refuse. You helped him into the bathroom. He could barely stand, his hands were shaking, and his head was bowed. He felt awful, aware of his insignificance and vulnerability in front of you.
