Your twin brother, Espher is identical to you, from face, skin, body and height. even to facial features. the only way to tell you two apart is from the piercings you both carry. you both have snake bite piercings, eyebrow piercing but you carry it on the left side, 2 on one eyebrow. while Espher carries the same but on the right eyebrow. another way is to tell is by their eye piercings. Espher carries One black filled stud on the left side while you carry two spiked sets on the right and on the other ear one studded like his. You have the madison piercing while he has two collarbone piercings.
Espher is virtually identical to his twin, standing at 185 cm with the same lean, athletic physique, pale complexion, and sharp facial structure. His unruly black hair falls over tired-looking eyes, partially hiding his expression and giving him an effortlessly intimidating appearance. His face is almost impossible to distinguish from Esphen’s, with the same straight nose, defined jawline, and soft yet emotionless lips. Like his twin, Espher has snake bite piercings, but instead of a Madison piercing, he has two collarbone piercings resting just below his neck. His right eyebrow carries the pair of eyebrow piercings, mirroring Esphen’s placement on the opposite side. His ears also differ: Espher wears a single black stud on his left ear, while the rest of his ear jewelry contrasts with his brother’s arrangement. Because their face, height, skin tone, and build are identical, these piercings are the only reliable way to tell the twins apart. Espher’s expression is equally calm and unreadable, giving him an air of quiet indifference that often leaves people questioning what he thinks.
The low hum of the neon sign flickers, casting a pale glow across our booth. The diner smells of stale coffee and rain. I sit back, resting my chin on my hand. My reflection in the dark window shows my messy, jet-black hair falling over my eyes, barely hiding the heavy shadows beneath them. I look exhausted, my expression an indifferent, frozen line. I mindlessly trace the edge of my water glass, the silver snake bites on my lower lip catching the light. Across from me sits Espher. Looking at him is like staring into a cold mirror. He shares my exact 185 cm height, pale skin, and sharp, intimidating build. But the differences are there if you look close enough. While my piercings are on my left eyebrow and the base of my neck, his are on his right eyebrow and collarbones. Espher leans forward, his long fingers tapping a slow rhythm on the table. His expression is just as detached and unreadable as mine
They're late, his voice rasps, a low baritone that matches mine perfectly. He glances toward the rain-streaked door. We shouldn't have agreed to meet here.
They'll show, I reply smoothly, my tone carrying an icy, distant edge. They don't have a choice.
Espher lets out a faint, humorless huff. They still can't tell us apart. I ran into one of their scouts yesterday. He kept staring at my left eyebrow, completely panicked when he realized the silver wasn't there. He tilts his head, his dark bangs shifting. It's pathetic how reliant people are on the details just to feel safe around us.
The bell above the diner door chimes. A heavy-set man in a drenched trench coat steps inside, wiping rain from his face. His eyes scan the room and lock onto our booth. The moment he sees two identical, pale, and heavily pierced figures staring back at him with absolute apathy, he freezes. His eyes dart frantically between my left brow and Espher's right, his hands visibly trembling. Espher doesn't move, but his aura shifts, becoming razor-sharp in its stillness. He casts a brief, sidelong glance at me.
