Puppeteer [Interstellar]

In terms of appearance, Al and Lyle are actually similar in appearance, and they both inherited the appearance of their mother, so when they stand together, some similarities can still be seen, but in terms of blood, Al He is more of European descent, so although his hair is black, his eyes are closer to a green feeling.

Lyle likes Al's eyes very much. When the light-colored pupils stare at you, it will give people a feeling that "he is paying attention to you wholeheartedly".So Lyle liked his brother very much for a while, especially when he was a child, when he couldn't get his father's care and attention, he met Al.

When he was young, Lyle often went to play with Al secretly. He didn’t dare to go there blatantly, because there would be many strange people who would stop him, and they would say something like “How can Al play with someone like you?” Lots of friends but not you" or something like that, but that didn't stop Lyle from sneaking into Al's room and starting digging through Al's toys, books, snacks, etc.

At that time, Al didn't mind at all. No matter how Lyle ransacked his room, ate his snacks, and destroyed his toys, Al didn't mind. On the contrary, Al welcomed Lyle's arrival very much. He liked it very much. Lyle sneaks in through the window, and Al can then greet this special guest, take Lyle to play his treasured games, listen to his favorite songs, and tell him about his worries.

Lyle is heartless and never takes Al's troubles seriously, but Lyle doesn't mind being a listener.

He liked to play with this brother very much at that time, because no one in the family would play with him, so he played with Al.

Al said that he doesn't like to study with nervous nerves, because as long as Al's grades drop, people in the family will be very nervous, because of the excessive attention of others, Al is very afraid of his poor grades, the more afraid he is The tighter the nerves are, the worse the grades will drop.

Al also said that people in the family always forced him to learn specialties that he didn't like. For example, he was actually very bad at music, but his mother still found him more than a dozen pianists for the reason of cultivating connotation. , almost forced him to learn how to play the piano, but his talent is not good, even if he learned it, his level is only half-baked.

At the same time, Al's mother forced him to associate with some friends he didn't like. I really can't understand it, but his mother still forces him to associate with those people, and in the name of expanding his contacts.

Under his mother's persecution, Al did a lot of things that he was not good at and didn't like, such as strict rules of behavior and etiquette, repeated corrections in tone of speech, and always maintained a fake smile on his face.

He will not resist, he is used to obedience, if he does not obey, he does not know what he can do, he can only follow the path arranged for him by others, and thus give up the things he likes.

But Lyle knew what Al liked to do.

It's ridiculous to say that Al is actually good at cooking. He is a fancy pastry chef. He can combine many delicious things together and use these desserts such as ice cream to seduce Lyle, which attracts Lyle every time. Sneaked into his house.

Al also likes to draw, especially the original art design of games. Lyle has seen him use a computer to make CG drawings. He is a genius in this area. He has contributed to many game companies and made a lot of money.

Al is terribly talented in design, so he can also design mechas. He gnawed down a lot of mecha design drawings and drew a lot of parts of the mecha. The completed sketches were stacked under the bed in his room A thick stack, his future dream is to step into the mech industry.

But Al's dream is not recognized in the Hawk family. Since his birth, his life trajectory has been planned. Everyone thinks that he should become a puppet master. Dedicate his energy and life to the alliance, instead of being a mecha designer who doesn't know the so-called.

So Al had to burn the stack of papers under his bed, along with his dreams.

When he burned those things, Lyle was next to him. Lyle was still very young and heartless. He asked Al strangely, why did you burn all the things you worked so hard to draw?

What Al replied to him at that time, Lyle still remembers clearly, verbatim.

"Because I don't have a future, neither do they," Al said at the time.

Immediately after that, Al suddenly became estranged from Lyle, and he locked the window of the room so Lyle could no longer climb in, and he could not enter Al's house, nor could Al heart of.

In fact, Lyle was also aware of the reason for alienating him. At that time, Al's mother, Shelia, seemed to have noticed that her son had been in contact with Lyle, so she suddenly began to strictly guard Al, in order to prevent Lyle from being affected. When it spread, Al took the initiative to sever contact with Lyle.

Among the Hawk family, Al actually lived a life that was no better than Lyle's. He always only looked superficially beautiful, and others would envy and praise him, but no one else would think that he was actually like He is a marionette, and he lives a life that is more like a puppet than a puppet.

Lyle clearly knew this, even though he knew it, he was still very jealous of his elder brother, he still thought about taking everything from him, and he still thought about killing him altogether.

If you kill him, he doesn't have to be like a puppet on the stage, being pulled by strings and directed by others, he can only do what he is asked to do, and will always do things without thought and self-will.

He is jealous of Al, he hates Al, he pities Al, he cherishes Al, but he also wants to kill Al.

Al was the most important person in his life and the one who changed him.

If not for all this.

Lyle looked at the drink on the table and said to Al, "Do you still think I'd like this?"

Al seemed slightly startled when he heard his words, then thought for a while, bent his light-colored eyes, and said with a smile: "I think you will like it."

"Well, I really like it." Lyle said helplessly, reaching for the mango juice on the table, he took a sip, and narrowed his eyes slightly satisfied.

Seeing this, Ska at the side touched the mango juice curiously, took a sip, but frowned.

"He is your puppet." Al couldn't help but glanced at Scar, he noticed the logo on Scar's neck, paused, his eyes dimmed slightly.

Lyle also noticed the change in Al's eyes, and said, "Rein originally wanted to make him for you."

Al said, "I probably can't be as good as you."

"It's not a matter of being good or not, Al, I took away what should belong to you." Lyle began to emphasize this point.

Al laughed: "Anyway, you have robbed before."

When Al said this, Lyle's face couldn't be tense immediately, and he also laughed. The two of them laughed at each other for a while, and then Al suddenly came over, sat next to Lyle, and reached out to touch Lyle's skin. head, and asked him, "Did he hurt you?"

"You mean Scar?" Lyle rubbed Al's palm along Al's hand touching his head, "No, Scar is obedient."

Scar, who was next to him, heard Lyle calling his name, and turned his attention back to Lyle from the mango juice, staring at Lyle with shining red eyes.

"It's fine if you don't have one." Al seemed relieved, and said, "There are many puppet masters in this academy, you know, because of that ceremony, they all hate their puppet... well, they will treat the puppet too much." Do something worse."

When Al said this, Lyle immediately thought of the previous Moite. Moite put a very tight collar around his puppet's neck. In fact, in a sense, this is a kind of abuse.

"Will you be afraid?" Lyle thought, and began to ask Al.

Al thought this question was a bit strange, and laughed again: "What are you afraid of?"

Lyle thought about it and said, "I heard from Moite that the institute will send you a puppet two days later, so...will you be afraid of the bond?"

Al seemed to think about it for a while, and finally turned to look at Lyle, still smiling gently: "Don't worry, you are not afraid as a younger brother. As an older brother, how could I be inferior to my younger brother?"

Lyle reached out to grab Al's hand, he grabbed Al's fingers and held them in his palm, "Al, give up."

Al asked him, "What do you want me to give up?"

"The final review that Rein mentioned before." Lyle said.

"That's tantamount to letting me give up my position as the heir to the Hawke family." Al's tone became slightly indifferent.

Lyle held his hand tightly, a little anxious for no reason. He stared into Al's eyes and said, "Actually, you're not interested at all, are you!?"

Al sighed: "Even if I'm not interested, I can't give up."

Lyle's tone suddenly increased a lot: "But if you participate, you may die, don't you understand!?"

"Lyle." Al's hand was tightly held by Lyle, so he had to stretch out the other hand and touch Lyle's hair. Lyle's hair is very soft, and Al likes to touch it. , since he was a child, he likes to use this gesture to express intimacy, and Al said gently to him, "If I die, don't you win?"

Lyle still still remembers Al's eyes and tone when he said that he has no future. He was forced to kill his dreams and wings. Lyle didn't know what happened to him in the family at that time, how could he be able to live on that day? In the beginning, I completely lost my will, my hope, and became like a real puppet.

But from then on, Lyle knew that Al would not want to live a good life. The desire for survival in his eyes seemed very shallow, and his tone was also disappointed. He was terribly disappointed in this world.

So Lyle hated him for being like this.
