Summary
In this moment, however, if Otto can begin to understand sadness, much less hatred, in the eyes of his father and the eyes of the adults around them, he makes no show of it. There are not yet words for the concept, a helplessness that will become foreign to the twins in their filled bookshelves and old Shakespeare collections, in the pointlessness of entertaining the opinions of the half-lived masses. The uncomfortable frowns of nurses and tutors will crystalize in their young eyes not long from now.
Otto imagines they're lonely because they have no Arora, and Arora imagines they're lonely because they have no Otto.
