What if your little brother died for you. What if you were given a second chance. What if you got to go back and try again. What if you reached out to him before everything went wrong. What if you did everything right this time. What if you made yourself new and different and distanced yourself from the version of you that killed him (he hasn't been killed). What if your relationship is even better now than before he died (he didn't die). What if you threw away everything from your past (future) that could remind you of what happened (didn't happen) (he's alive).
What if the little brother who died for you was still dead (your brother is alive) (you never lost him). What if he was still out there (he's here) (in front of you). What if his body was growing cold somewhere all alone (he's warm) (he's alive) (you see him every day). What if this version, who you love exactly the same, isn't the one you lost (he's still your brother) (he's worried for you). What if you could never bring his body home (he doesn't understand) (he would die for you too).
