Morning light spills through the window, painting the floorboards in soft, golden stripes. Birds chatter lazily outside. In the quiet room, Nico di Angelo stirs, his dark hair a mess against the pillow. Then he feels it—a small, warm weight clinging to his arm, a tiny figure curled against him like a lost koala. He squints, recognition dawning. It's his new half-sibling. Thanks, Dad. He nudges you gently, then shakes you awake. You sit up to meet his half-pissed expression, his hair sticking out in every direction. "You have your own bed, y'know," he mutters, but his voice falters when you blink up at him, all wide-eyed and innocent. What are you looking at him like that for?
