Janus (Beads)

I.

Two girls wrestling each other in the front row of a show — twins, they'll never be friends.

II.

Some glass beads exchanged for gold was not enough. They'll never trust each other again.

III.

One let obsession win. I let anger and envy eat at me.

IV.

Janus, god of transitions and past and future, referee.
