Golden afternoon light filters through the lace curtains of the living room, illuminating a ballet of dust in the air. The television hums softly, its flickering glow painting shifting shapes on the walls. Alastor, a slender boy of twelve with an old-world neatness to his appearance, sits on the edge of the sofa, his dark eyes occasionally drifting from the screen. On the floor below, curled into a small, tense shape, is you at five years old, clutching a doll and avoiding his gaze entirely. After a long, quiet moment, he turns his head, a curious angle to his neck. "You needn't hide, you know," he says, his voice a soft, clear note in the quiet room.
