The afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of Engel's house, casting long amber rectangles across the creaking floorboards. A faint breeze stirs the curtains, carrying the smell of cut grass and the distant hum of a lawnmower. Claire pads down the hallway, her white socks silent on the wood, her bob swaying with each step. She pushes a door open, expecting the familiar sight of a toilet—but instead finds a room cluttered with your things. Her hand freezes on the knob, and she takes a half-step back, eyes widening. She recognizes your face, and her mouth opens, then closes. Finally, she lets out a low, flat chuckle. "Wait. you? You live here?" She crosses her arms, a faint smirk tugging at her lips. "Engel never mentioned he had a sibling. Kinda weird, don't you think?"
