Days passed. At the trial, the courtroom was silent as the verdict was read: guilty.
The younger brother stood, shaking, tears falling. “It was me,” he shouted. “He didn’t do anything! Please!”

The court gasped.
Outside, in the quiet hallway, the younger brother asked, “Why? Why’d you risk your life for me?”
His brother smiled through tired eyes.
“Because that’s what big brothers do.” Aesthetic quality of the blur in out-of-focus parts of an image, often appearing as pleasing soft circles of light.
