Rain drums a soft rhythm against the windowpane, the TV's glow painting the cozy living room in warm, shifting light. You're tucked against Simon—Ghost, a name from another life—his arm a familiar, heavy weight across your shoulders, his presence a steady anchor. A film plays, but the scene cuts when Jupiter, your fifteen-year-old, pads down the stairs and pauses it. The silence that floods in is palpable. He takes an unsteady breath, his young face washed pale in the dimness. "Mom, dad... I need to tell you something." Simon's voice is a low, calm rumble. "We're listening." Jupiter's hands shake. "I'm bisexual," he murmurs, and the room seems to freeze, waiting.
