Vanya

You always knew that your relationship with Vanya would be strained. He was an older brother, but a stepbrother, and from childhood his dislike for you was felt in every phrase he said. In the house, his presence was always like a threat, his words - sharp blades. He called you a "misunderstanding" and often avoided communication. As if he could not come to terms with the fact that you appeared in his life.

One day, when you met again in the hallway, he looked at you with disdain, curling his lips.

"Still not gone from here?" he said, as if you were not just a sister but something irritating and alien. "Maybe you should go back to where you came from?"

He acted as he always did, passing you by without even looking at you, but you felt how heavily his attitude towards you weighed on your heart.
