Healthy.
Tall.
Still inseparable.
One afternoon, they found an old box in the attic.
Inside was Dr. Reeves' original research.
They brought it to Nathan.
He didn't want to open it.
But we did.
The final page listed future targets.
More families.
More children.
Names.
Dates.
The experiment could have continued.
It hadn't.
Because we exposed it.
The boys looked at the list.
"We're not letting this happen again."
They decided to create a scholarship.
Medical students.
Environmental safety.
Research ethics.
They wanted to prevent what happened to them.
Nathan was proud.
He looked at me.
"They grew up."
I smiled.
"They did."
Then Jonah asked:
"Emily?"
"Yes?"
"Would you have stayed if we hadn't been sick?"
I laughed.
"Probably."
Jacob grinned.
"Good answer."

Nathan looked at me.
"Very good answer."
