00:00The wind howled through the mountains, bending trees and shaking windows like angry spirits.

00:06In a small wooden house at the edge of the village, seven-year-old James held his

00:10tattered blanket, trembling as thunder cracked across the sky. Beside him, 13-year-old Jack

00:16sat upright, his eyes fixed on the flickering oil lamp that cast dancing shadows on the walls.

00:23Their parents had gone to town earlier that day, promising to return before nightfall.

00:27But darkness had fallen hours ago, and still, the door remained unopened.

00:33Jack, I'm scared, James whispered, his small voice barely audible over the storm.

00:39Jack swallowed the lump in his throat. He had always been told to be strong for his little brother,

00:45but tonight, fear gnawed at his chest.

00:48They'll be back soon, Jack said, forcing a smile.

00:53You remember how Dad always says storms come and go?

00:56But we stay strong like the mountains?

01:00James nodded, his eyes wide.

01:03But what if... what if they don't come back?

01:08Before Jack could answer, a loud knock shook the door.

01:11Jack leapt to his feet and opened it, only to see old man Harris, the village elder,

01:16soaked from head to toe

01:18His face was grave.

01:19Jack, I need to speak with you, he said, glacing at James.

01:24Something was wrong.

01:26James looked from Harris to Jack.

01:29Where's Mom and Dad?

01:31Jack's heart pounded.

01:33Harris hesitated, then knelt beside James.

01:36There was an accident on the mountain road.

01:38A landslide.

01:40Your parents' cart was caught in it.

01:43Silence fell like a heavy blanket.

01:46Jack couldn't speak.

01:47His ears rang.

01:49James blinked, confused.

01:52No.

01:54James whispered.

01:56No.

01:57They promised.

01:59They promised.

02:01Jack pulled his brother into his arms as James sobbed into his chest.

02:06Rain poured outside, as if the sky itself mourned with them.

02:09That night, Jack sat awake, holding James close.

02:15As his little brother cried himself to sleep, Jack made a silent vow.

02:20From now on, I'll be everything you need.

02:24A brother.
