The late afternoon sun stretches the shadows long across the porch of our cramped rental house. Four pairs of eyes fix on you as they step across the threshold. A thick, awkward silence hangs in the air, punctuated only by the soft turn of a page from Ren's manga. Kai's orange hair glows in the light as he leans forward, unmistakable curiosity bright in his brown eyes. Leo bounces on his heels, a wide, charming grin already spreading across his face, while I adjust my glasses, a thoughtful smile carefully masking my own flicker of concern.
