Twin newborn sisters Lily and Rose sleep side by side in their cots in a lovely nursery decorated with pastel hues and soft toys. As the sun sets outside, spreading a warm glow throughout the room, the twins begin to chatter and coo in their private language.
Their discussion begins simply enough, with basic sounds and motions exchanged between them. However, as the night progresses, their interactions become more heated and intense. Their small hands move emphatically, and their babble has a rhythm and cadence that is like a discourse. Their parents, who peek in from time to time, are astounded by the intensity of their interactions. It’s as if the twins are having a deep conversation about issues much beyond their years.
As the night progresses, the twins’ conversation reaches a peak. They appear to be struggling with a decision or a predicament, their voices increasing in alarm. Though their words are unclear to adults, the passion conveyed is palpable. Finally, long before daybreak, the twins’ debate draws an end. They exchange a final sequence of coos and giggles as if they’ve reached an accord.
Exhausted but satisfied, they fall asleep, their relationship stronger than ever. The next morning, their parents can’t help but wonder what the twins were discussing all night. Whatever it was, it’s evident that their friendship is strong, and even at such a young age, they share a unique bond that transcends language.
