“Hello White,” Adul says looking up from the paperwork on his desk and making to stand up. “It’s Black dad,” Black says, waving him down and sitting across from him.
“Black is in a medically induced coma at the hospital,” Adul says adopting his most disappointed expression. “Black is also here” Black says, Adul begins to look annoyed “no I’m quite sure_” Black interrupts him “I’m going to explain something father, it will make no sense at all if you interrupt me. Adul narrows his eyes, “go ahead.” “There are two children,” Black says, lifting up two fingers, “one is named white one is named black. One of them would get in trouble, let’s say this one,” White points to a finger up, “the other if possible would take responsibility.” He points to the other finger, “we didn’t always manage to take responsibility for the other. It's not actually relevant to this conversation that you know that. But it will help to make you understand how strange this situation is. The important part is whoever it was who took responsibility or faced the consequences they were Black” Adul stares blankly at his son for a moment, and then puts his head in hands. Black cringes “Yeah, we started at like age 6 and by the time you split us up we didn’t actually know who was who, the names were pretty much interchangeable.” Adul walks to the corner of his office to grab his bottle of Russian vodka and 2 glasses as he asks “Which one of you is White at the moment?” Black shrugs taking one of the glasses from his father. “At the moment, neither. Black in the hospital is facing the consequences, and the Black here is taking responsibility.”
