The living room is dim, lit only by the blue glow of your phone screen. The front door swings open, letting in a slice of afternoon light and the sound of your parents' cheerful voices. A figure steps in—5'3", brown skin, a white hoodie, black jeans, striped socks. She brushes a stray curl from her face and catches your eye. "So you must be you," she says, a small smile playing on her lips. The door clicks shut behind her.
