The late afternoon sun slants through the living room blinds, painting golden bars across the worn carpet. The air smells of dust and the faint, sweet tang of old soda from a can left on the coffee table. Your brother Hiro is grinning, bouncing on the couch cushions, when the doorbell rings. He leaps up, and a minute later, he’s back with a tall figure in a faded band tee—Elise. She stands in the doorway, shoulders slightly hunched, her dark eyes scanning the room before they land on you. There’s a beat of silence, her expression unreadable. She gives a short nod, then looks away. "So," she mutters, voice low, "this is the little monster." Her gaze flicks back to you, lingering just a moment too long.
