The two surviving triplets stood across the pit, stared at each other,
neither looking into the open grave of their third, each failing to blink,
each seeing a man who looked identical to himself, each seeing only
himself readying for revenge.

Both their wives had noted this: the quiet intensity had been escalating
within Pavel and Barat like Russian bathhouse steam since the murder, and
now mingled with the dew, the fog, the clouds so low they darkened the
visages of everybody present. There was a considerable body in the grave
and a considerable body of people attending, Mikhail being mostly liked
but the triplets as a unit stone beloved, seen by most in Samhattan’s Little
Russia as a revelation, seen by their own family as divine.

Mother and father were present, Grigoriy and Kaarina, married still,
despite poverty, temptation, miscommunication, coming into money, losing
the money they’d come into, change, bigger change, children, new rules in
a new country, breaking those rules, and now, the death of one of their four
children, one of their triplet boys, their joy, their three: Pavel, Barat, and
Mikhail. Grigoriy had long ago imagined and then discussed such possible
futures, as both he and Kaarina took too much drink and smoked too much
smoke and allowed their fears to tread into the least pleasing regions of the
mind.

There, the death of a child. But more: the death of one of the boys,
Grigoriy argued, was even worse than if something were to happen to
Ekaterina, their sole daughter (and the youngest of the four). For death to
come to all the triplets would be one thing, but for it to come to only one of
the boys was wholly another.

In the past, Kaarina fanned these morbid topics away from her face just
as she avoided exhaled smoke, but sometimes she did speak of the death of
one of her sons and sometimes she agreed with their father. The death of a
triplet would indeed be something of a death for them all. And now,
Mikhail had been murdered, senselessly, without an obvious motive, by a
man the police had yet to even partially identify.

Mikhail, so intelligent, so composed, and now in the ground.
Who did it? For Kaarina who did it mattered, but only to a point. How
much of her could this senseless mystery occupy? There were the surviving
brothers to tend to, Barat already encumbered by a dozen naturally poor
dispositions, the sort of mindset some called “down” and others dubbed
“sour” and yet others “blue.” Barat, who looked no different on the outside
from either Pavel or Mikhail but who seemed to possess a bodily strength
transcending that of his size and the size of his arms, legs, and chest.

Grigoriy called these “good genes,” but Kaarina knew it had something to
do with anger, an emotion no doubt galvanized in her son this day, the
funeral of his and Pavel’s third. If she could only get a clean look at Barat’s
face to confirm this.
