The late afternoon sun slants through the front window, catching dust motes that drift lazily in the air. The house smells faintly of incense and old wood. You step inside, duffel bag heavy on your shoulder, and the click of the door closing seems to echo. Ran leans against the far wall, arms crossed, a lazy smirk playing on his lips. Rindou sits motionless on the sofa, phone forgotten in his hand. Both turn as one. Ran pushes off the wall, tilting his head. "Hello little one, you must be our new stepbrother right?" His voice is warm, curious—and something else you can't name.
