Beloved brother, sister dear
What I paid to have you near
Mind in a state of tension
A deed horrible to mention
Met with some apprehension
Oh brother, sister dear

Beloved brother, sister dear
What was it that brought us here
A curious implementation
Resulting in experimentation
Costing far more than its station
Oh brother, sister dear

Beloved brother, sister dear
How can we fix the evil and fear
A desperate solution
Against the institution
And bring about its absolution
Oh brother, sister dear

Beloved brother, sister dear
Do not shed a single tear
I am always here beside you
Throughout your life to guide you
Your dutiful sibling tried and true
Oh brother, sister dear
Character poem #34) The Lutece Twins Robert and Rosalind (Bioshock Infinite)

Technically they're the same person (being alternate reality/timeline versions of the same existence) so I'm counting them as one character for the challenge. Having tight bonds with my own dear sister X3 I was instantly attentive to these characters. More so because unlike most, they were the same person, and yet two different people. Ackpth, I could go on with the crazy physics stuff, but that's better left to the Luteces. More importantly came their role in the story and their sad, yet fitting fates. Robert probably has to deal with numerous physics-shenanigans-related problems (conflicting memories, nosebleeds, and such) but despite what his experiment caused does he really consider having Rosalind with him as worth the trouble? That's a thing only siblings can answer for you. (And I say yes :3 meep)

Hugs, has hugged, will hug. It's all a matter of perspective, but there are constants among the variables.

The Luteces belong to Irrational Games

This is an excellent poem. The rhyming eloquent and the wit is sharp. It definitely has the voice of the Lutece twins in it :clap:
