Lovely and well rounded tale. I especially liked the sibling interactions and the diverse observations on the difference between thoughts and actions.

In medias res it was.
I think yours is the original approach, I think a lot of people wrote what my mind's eye saw immediately :D

Dare I ask what your mind's eye saw?
