I guess: the two brothers and sisters must have had an unfortunate childhood. As a child, although Brandon was small, he was able to protect his younger sister. sissy often rests on the shoulders of brandon. In the silent night, it was also Brandon who fell asleep with sissy in his arms. No matter what happened, brandon had the conditions to receive a good education, and sissy gradually became independent.

Brandon goes to great lengths to keep himself "normal": normal job, normal apartment, normal living arrangements.

It's just that he's not normal.

Growth is like building a house. If the house is leaking, it must be repaired. No matter how good the repair is, it is also repaired. Brandon is constantly tinkering with itself in its own way. sissy is also mending herself: always changing her work life in a different city, and constantly asking to be loved by the dispensable people in her life. Brandon considers himself to be better at handling life and emotions than sissy. Good and bad are just appearances, no matter how good the disguise is, it cannot escape the black hole of the heart.

I believe that brandon's calm and tired eyes in the subway at the end is a good start, maybe he will mend himself in other ways, it doesn't matter, spiral forward.

Growing up takes a lifetime. No matter what happened in his childhood, a person may spend his whole life facing the misfortune of childhood. I asked Suan Suan how long it would take for me to stop cleaning up the pieces that kept falling out of my brain. He was very optimistic and answered me: There are still a few years, and you will be fine in a few years. I actually just hope the nightmare doesn't come back.
