#the dynamic between two and four is really weird and incomprehensible to outsiders#partly because they're weirdly private about their relationship#and partly because (and here's the funny part)#they don't know who's the older brother.#Four is older chronologically and physically.#(Two is 612 / 14; Four is 749 / 17)#okay great! you may be saying. Four is older in both categories.#but Two has been an independent agent longer! and so in terms of life experience Two is more mature.#okay but Four is still pretty significantly older and Two only has a few months of civilian life more than him! you may say.#Surely Four will catch up soon!#but wait! the chronological ages get weirder!#Four has a dissociative disorder! so he may be older as a whole—his body is older and his life experience will soon catch up—#but in terms of how he functionally remembers things? depending on the day he may remember only a small fraction of his life!#It takes longer for him to adjust to new things because he has gaps in his memory and several alters#who each have to individually readjust to the current situation when they front.#so although Four is physically and chronologically older than Two—#and although he's actually quite good at in-system communication and sometimes blurs between alters—#he really can't always 'act his age'.#sometimes it's like Four is older and wiser than Two. Sometimes Two is definitely the more mature one. it switches.
