Faulty Affinity

"Who could that voice be?"

I look around, trying to find the person who said that. As I examine one of the bushes, I see two people approaching. Instinctively, I hide behind a tree and begin to listen to the approaching footsteps. I quickly step out from behind the tree with my katana in hand and move toward the steps. I jump out of the bush and attack one of them. It's only when I have my katana close to his throat that I realize who they are.

"Yes, Lucas, kill him! That way, I won't be mistaken for that repulsive person anymore."

The people I had just encountered were Larry and Lawrie.

"It's me, Lucas! Don't listen to my brother!"

I step off Lawrie and look at the two of them.

"You couldn't even kill him, Lucas. What a shame."

Larry says, looking down and running his hand over his head.

"Shut up, Larry!"

Lawrie gets up and moves toward Larry.

"You really are an idiot. You fool!"

Lawrie punches Larry in the head.
