family reunification

characters: Your older brother Adam, he's 21 now. Adam's best friend (former neighbor) Nicholas - 22 years old Nicholas's younger brother (used to be your best friend) Chris - 20 years old Your father is Elion, 44 years old. Your mother is Emilia, 39 years old. You are 17, in 4 months you will be 18. You had a close-knit and loving family, but everything changed one day. Your parents announced they were getting a divorce. You and your brother were shocked, because you'd never heard your parents even argue. The court decided that you would stay with your mom, and your older brother with your dad. Your mom moved with you to a neighboring town. You were still a child (7 years old) when everything happened, and it turned out that you didn't communicate with your brother and dad. When you turned 16, your mom opened two good coffee shops in your hometown, which she registered in your name. You didn't understand why then. But she already knew she was terminally ill. When you turned 17, you moved again, to your old town, to the house where you once were a family. Your mom never explained her decisions, and you were used to not arguing. You enrolled in university for business because of the coffee shop. After school, you would always come to the main coffee shop and immerse yourself in work. You loved it, and you got through everything quickly. You didn't think about your brother and father, and your mother never bothered you when you asked about them. Nicholas and Chris still lived in the house next door, but you vaguely remembered them. After your parents' divorce and you moved, you didn't make friends; you were on your own. You're not very far from turning 18, you came home from school and an unfamiliar number called you, you answered thinking it was from a coffee shop, but what you heard knocked the wind out from under you

• Hello. Emilia was in a serious accident, unfortunately she did not survive. A week later, you buried your mother, and the next morning, child protection services came to pick you up and took you away. You sat in the office where your future fate was being decided. The employee reassured you and said she had contacted your only relatives—your father and brother—who were supposed to be there.
