058.5 — Casual Talk: Sister, Hualien

A fragment of 059.

Inserted via revision.

After our parents passed away, my brother and I became targets of public backlash.

No one knows where it started, but apparently, twins with a nine-year age gap are rare.

Monsters born from genetic experiments. Products of inhumane scientific trials.

Everywhere we went, rumors spread. Human rights? Forgotten.

But as the saying goes, gossip fades after seventy-five days. Time moved on, and the public quickly lost interest in us.

In that time, we kept moving from place to place—endless relocations, always running.

We spent a lot of time in hotels. Most of the inheritance and insurance money our parents left behind? Gone.

My current job pays decently, but I can’t afford to let my brother live extravagantly without picking up extra work somewhere else.

I’ve decided to become a pro-gamer in SFO—the latest cash-grab game everyone’s obsessed with.

Luckily, games like this have always been my specialty.
