"You know who | am now?" Calliope looked at Ulysses, a sudden thought crossing her mind.
If he knew she was that screenwriter, then maybe it all made sense. She knew he'd always been interested in
those scripts. If he was just sucking up to her for the sake of getting his hands on them, well, that wouldn't be all
that surprising.
"What?" Ulysses blinked, caught off guard. "Callie, | know | haven't always treated you right. | probably haven't
acted much like a real brother, but | get it now. In this world, you're the only real sister | have."
"| regret the way | treated you before. I'm sorry. | don't expect you to forgive me. | just hope you'll still think of
He looked at her, his eyes full of sincerity, like he truly meant it.
Oddly enough, that just made Calliope even more surprised.
She stared back at him, her expression cold. "You're not my brother."
Her voice was ice.
They didn't share a drop of blood, and she had nothing to do with Ulysses. He wasn't her brother, that was
simply the truth.
"If I don't like something, there's no need to pretend otherwise. You've gone all out for the company, haven't
you? You really are an actor, Ulysses. I'll give you that, your performance is top-notch."
Ulysses' face fell, his expression twisting uncomfortably.

his apology didn't mean a thing.
The words stung, and a knot twisted in his stomach.
He could see it now, Calliope really didn't see any of them as her brothers anymore. She used to follow them
around, always so eager to help, always so sweet.
But now, she didn't even want to call them her brothers. It was clear: she'd changed. She wanted nothing to do
with them anymore.
There was a twhen he wouldn't have believed it. He'd have thought Calliope was just playing hard to get,
pulling sclever trick to get their attention.
But now, he was sure she meant it.
The way she looked at them, there was nothing even close to affection in her eyes. It was like they were
strangers, people she'd already cut loose from her heart.
Ulysses felt a deep ache in his chest. He glanced around at the others standing with him.
They didn't seem to notice.
Was he the only one who saw it?
Was he the only one who realized they were about to lose Calliope for good?
He'd always found her annoying before. So why did it hurt so much now? Why did
it feel like something irreplaceable was slipping away for good?
He couldn't shake the feeling that
once she left, she'd never cback. And even if they tried to
