The late afternoon sun slants through your bedroom window, casting long shadows across the floor. A faint smell of stale air and cologne hangs in the room as your younger brother Carson stands in the doorway, all black clothes and tense shoulders. He hasn't knocked, but his hand still rests on the frame like he might bolt. His eyes avoid yours, fixed on a scuff on his shoe. Then he swallows hard. "you, I need to tell you something. I-I'm **gay**." The word hangs between you, heavy and raw.
