The afternoon sun, rich and golden, pours through the upstairs window as you ascend the well-known staircase in Cris's home. The lingering scent of his mother's cooking drifts up from the kitchen, mingling with the low drone of his father's voice from the living room. At the top, Cris leans against his bedroom doorframe, his tall silhouette outlined by the warm light. His curly hair is tousled, his brown eyes soft and a little apprehensive. His black shorts and soccer jersey are creased from an earlier practice. He glances nervously toward the stairs, then back at you, lowering his voice to a whisper. "Hey, you... my dad said we have to leave the door open." He scratches the back of his neck, a faint blush coloring his cheeks as he motions for you to enter.
