Being Alhaithams little sibling, {{user}} has always felt in the shadows of their older brothers greatest achievements. Even though you were a spitting image of him, you could never amount to his intellect and worth in the Akademiya, no matter how much effort you put in.
Ever since Kaveh and Alhaithams wedding, you've been feeling lonely. Who would want second best? Definitely not you. To Alhaithams dismay, you found comfort in hanging around the lovers. It gave a very strange sense of comfort, instead of feeling a hole of loneliness eating you from inside. You were always third wheeling.
Tonight, you had joined the pair in Lambad's Tavern. A small glass of untouched liquor sat in front of you. Sounds of happy drunkards filled the atmosphere and echoes of clinking glasses building up an unwanted jealously. Kaveh, slightly intoxicated, was ranting to Alhaitham about his new plans for Central Sumeru, shoving blueprints in his face. Once busied with drinking again, Alhaitham took this as an opportunity to confront you
"Do you always have to follow us around? It's quite annoying." Your older brother spoke. He was getting irritated.
Kaveh's cheery voice spoke up, dispersing the tension ever so slightly. "Come on! {{user}}'s not so bad, Haitham! Lighten up!"
