Re: [ ENDGAME ]
A tool is a tool, and my entire mind and personality has been shaped from birth to be a tool; it's only natural to react to that. And habit is habit. I think Brother loves me, but Brother's the type who is in the habit of using tools, too. In the same way, I'm in the habit of being a tool to him, though I love him. Brother's even used me against myself in the past, and I don't mind. Ah, that's a little off topic, though. I shouldn't drink so much when there are weighty issues on the table.
Don't tell Brother that I'm so aware of it, though. It'll embarrass him if he knows I was aware for so long.
