This is truly no shade to anyone, but it always takes me tf out whenever there's an "Irina lives" au where she and Ilya leave Russia and the fic either just straight up ignores Alexei's existence or is like "yeah, he got left behind but he was an asshole so it's fine 👍" and then never acknowledges him again. LMAOOOO. Damn.
POV: you get abandoned by your mother to live with your abusive father while she takes your little brother away to start a better life in a different country without you. Also you're sixteen.
