"I reeeeeally do," he confirms smugly. "I did great in my psych classes, I'll have you know."

I'd literally die for my little brother. I know you argued that's selfish because life would be harder for me without him, but that doesn't hold up because annihilation is less desirable than pain that will fade over time."
