This is just going round in circles. We are ALLUDED to the man sexually abusing the older son. We are ALLUDED to the man & maids poisoning the older son. We are ALLUDED to sinister reasons for the older son being confined to his quarters, and isolated from his younger brother. We are ALLUDED to the younger brother developing a dependency on his older sibling. We are ALLUDED to sinister reasons why the older brother cannot go to school (no evidence of home tutors or self study as a replacement) and has to sneak out at night. How did the older son even become friends with the dark haired boy, how long has his ALLUDED to confinement & abuse went on?
Yes using metaphors to show abuse, and showing the day to day life of living under it is fine, but this is just a rather wishy washy plot at this point, due to NOTHING being clarified, only readers making assumptions.
