[Dave's apartment occupies the top floor. He wonders if his brother realizes how short the distance is between them. The door to his apartment clicks when he shuts it behind him, and the bolt slides home when he does the quick turn of his key to lock it. It feels like the world is holding its breath as he moves from the hallway into the the stairwell.
He takes his time and he can only think of the sweltering heat and the burning red of the sun behind his brother the last time he saw him alive. It's quickly replaced with the dream bubble where he saw this one. Younger than his big bro but still his family. Not his ancestor, yet he is. As he reaches the top he pauses then pushes the door open, making sure it bangs loudly to announce him. He kicks it shut behind him, putting on the cool attitude of indifferent that's traditional.]
