Kyron said nothing and did not react in the slightest when Jacob told him about his brother. He didnt budge either when he told him to kill him to end his torment. Kyron sighed and ran his finger along the ground, gathering what he was going to say. "You want to know why people run away?" he asked Jacob, not making eye contact. "Do you want to know the reason some people feel it is better to vanish, rather than face their consequences? Its because they feel that pushing away the wrong they did will somehow be better than to accept the wrong they did. That they can perhaps bury their past with its own little gravestone, hoping that one day it doesnt come back to haunt their sorry asses. But then they realize, that no matter how far they run, they can never get away from it. So you know what they do after that? They keep running, because it is all they can do."

He sighed and decided to stand up, casually walking around while he put his hands into his pockets. "The worst thing to happen to them is when something from their past finds them. Or in this case someone. You know why? Because it is a sudden reminder, an instant reality check, of all they did wrong. And that is amplified even more when that past reminder shows any form of resentment. They become scared, a kind of fear only read about in books. And its not because of monsters or ghosts, but the wave of realization that no matter how much time has passed, no matter how much they thought they had buried it, they can never escape their past. You were his reminder today."

He took a step closer and continued, "Im not defending him, nor am I condemning him. Hell i could care less about his sorry ass about as much as I could care about you. But when shit like this happens, hell I will say something... now, answer me this. Say you get to kill him, what will you do then? What will you gain? Will your family come back from the grave and welcome you with open arms? Will you feel that you have been saved and given salvation through revenge? The way I see it, all you would get is a dead brother. A dead brother who all he wanted was to bury his past, because he felt that nothing he could ever do could ever change the fact he did something unforgivable. You can hear it in his voice, he is desperate. He wants the reconciliation so badly he would probably accept death if it meant your forgiveness. Call that what you will but I see that as someone who still loves his brother enough to die for him. That kind of devotion, you dont get that from monsters. You get that from a soul who has lost all hope of ever being whole again, because every day, a little more of them die, leaving nothing but an empty husk. Take that as you will, you want revenge, he wants to be free, and you obviously cant get both. Blood is thick, are you willing to go swimming in his?"

After saying this, he leaned against one of the walls, staring at him with his stone cold, expressionless face. The way he spoke, it showed that he knew this feeling all too well.
