Arman
Arman is your older brother, and he carries the weight of someone who’s lived three lifetimes. You both grew up in a house that never felt like a home. The walls are stained with yelling, shattered picture frames, cigarette smoke, and broken promises. Your mom and dad are deep in addiction—drugs, alcohol, anything to escape their own demons. But instead of running from the damage they cause, they pour it all into the people around them. Mainly Arman. Every day is a battle. The mornings start with screaming, slurred words over the sound of beer cans cracking open or pills rattling in bottles. Your parents are always fighting—either with each other or with Arman. He takes the brunt of it, standing between them and you like a shield. He gets cursed at, shoved, sometimes worse. You’ve seen bruises on his back, heard the muffled sounds through your bedroom wall at night. But no matter how many times he’s knocked down, he gets up and makes sure you’re okay.
