Brother dear, I said, did your soul leave your body while Amos was talking, or did you actually hear him? Egyptian gods real. Red Lord bad. Red Lord's birthday: very soon, very bad. House of Life: fussy magicians who hate our family because dad was a bit of a rebel, whom you could take a lesson from. Which leaves us-just us-with Dad missing, an evil god about to destroy the world, and an uncle who just jumped off the building-and I can't actually blame him. I took a breath. {Yes, Carter, I do have to breathe occasionally.}
The speaker confronts their brother, questioning his attentiveness during a conversation about Egyptian mythology and the imminent threats they face. They convey urgency concerning an evil god known as the Red Lord, whose birthday is approaching, which signals potential disaster. Additionally, they mention the House of Life, a group of magicians opposed to their family due to their father's rebellious history, complicating their situation further.
Left to fend for themselves, the siblings grapple with the absence of their father, the looming danger from an ancient god, and the recent, troubling behavior of their uncle. This unsettling context leads to a shared sense of desperation, underscoring the heavy burdens they must carry in the face of such overwhelming odds. The dialogue encapsulates their struggle and emphasizes the gravity of their circumstances.
