Summary:

It’s a good thing our mother is dead. If she were alive, she’d be so ashamed of what her son has become. Of course Alexei had to open his big mouth and give a statement to some shitty gossip site, and of course the entirety of the internet is posting it now, because Shane and Ilya took the internet and pop culture by storm a few Marches ago, and keeping them in headline stories keeps people engaged. If it were a random comment, Ilya knew it wouldn’t sting as much as it does, and he would just let it go, but it’s Alexei, and it’s Alexei talking about their mom. Their mom, who Ilya puts on such a pedestal, a woman Ilya and Shane dedicated their charity to, a woman that Ilya strives to do the best for every day. It doesn’t just sting, it’s a shot that’s blasted through his heart. AKA: Alexei opens his big mouth, and the Hollanov Defense Squad responds.
