Any argument or excuses left to be said gets ignored as Lloyd swallows hard, staring at Mithos with wide eyes. They’re brothers. Brothers.
It makes sense, honestly. They are brothers, if Lloyd is right, if Origin is Lloyd’s father as much as he is Mithos’ - hell, Lloyd has already said that much, implied that much. But somehow, in the midst of all that anger and betrayal, the fact that... The fact that Origin is their shared father escaped him. Even though it didn’t. Because it’s now that the realization that they’re brothers is hitting Lloyd, knocking the words off his tongue before he can say anything, left staring at his newfound brother.
Is he even upset about it? Well... No, not really. Lloyd had always wanted siblings, always wanted to be a big brother, and found some sort of solace in his role with Genis, but this is - this is totally crazy, absolutely insane, to find out he’s the brother of an Aegis from an entirely different dimension, to find out that said brother is a reflection of the uncle Lloyd killed on his own world. To find out that this brother was left abandoned just as much as he was by their father. How is Lloyd supposed to feel about this?
He struggles to settle on a specific thought. Too much has happened tonight, too much to accept and cope with and work through, and adding on sudden family seems to have sent his brain haywire with how it races from thought to thought, way too preoccupied to try and pin down one thing in particular to feel. Lloyd settles on being torn about everything and knowing he’ll have to work through it all, but... At least this Mithos seems alright. At least he seems like a brother Lloyd wouldn’t mind having.
“We’re brothers,” Lloyd finally says aloud, letting out a breathy laugh and smacking his hand over his eyes, dragging it down his face. “Of course we’re brothers. Because no part of my life will ever be normal.”
