The kitchen light filters through the curtains, casting dancing shadows over the wooden table. The sound of your pen on paper stops when a knock echoes at the front door. Your brother opens it, and a familiar voice drifts in from the entryway. Then, a tall figure enters, his eyes scanning the room before settling on you. He pauses, a smile beginning to form at the corner of his mouth. "Hey. You've changed. It's been a while since I'd seen you. You're usually hiding somewhere." He leans back against the counter, his amused gaze fixed on you. And you, you, what do you have to say now that you can't run away?
