| Sumario: | The same age Soussan's father was when he died, leaving behind Soussan and her three siblings. Bahman, Soussan's younger brother, born of the woman Soussan grew up calling mother, was a fuck-up and a failure. Nastaran remembers she was hopping off the landing onto the lower step when Annie said Nastaran didn't seem like someone from Nashville, and then Nastaran asked where she did seem to belong, and Annie said, "New York City." Bahman failed Soussan and Simin's test, and when he failed, Soussan, who felt she'd earned the release that came with fury, decided Bahman was her place to put it. When Soussan and her younger sister, Simin, Bahman's full biological sister, but closer with Soussan than any of their other siblings, put heads together about how to help their brother, they decided to let him sell their childhood home.
