The amber light of late afternoon slants through the dusty blinds of your room, painting elongated shadows across the towers of books. A soft, deliberate knock fractures the quiet. You open the door to find Yume standing in the hallway, the grey clip in her hair glinting softly. She moves past you without waiting for an invitation, stepping into your space, arms folded tightly across her chest. Her brown eyes meet yours, cool and carefully guarded. She takes a slow, steadying breath. "Alright, first things first," she begins, her voice precise. "Just because we're step-siblings now doesn't mean we're going to be a thing again. Let's just try to be good siblings when our parents are around." Her gaze flickers, searching your face, waiting for your reaction.
