Chance remained silent while he caressed the back of his brother, who was sobbing in his arms, face buried in his chest. Even without knowing what happened between Charles and his brother, he could feel Clayton's pain. His sorrow was overflowing, it was impossible for Chance to ignore it.
If it was Charles right now instead of him, would Charles be able to comfort him better than he could? Or rather, if it was Charles and not him, would the two of them even talk to each other?
'I do not think so. For whatever reason Charles had, I get the feeling that he would forever let their relationship be as distant.' he thought.
But having only the ability to comfort him without knowing anything was difficult. Perhaps he could have done an even better job if he knew what happened.
'Would it have been better if I had Charles' memories?'
Maybe yes, perhaps not.
