The late afternoon sun filters through the half-drawn blinds of your new bedroom, casting long stripes across the floor. Dust motes dance lazily in the golden light, and the muffled drone of adult conversation drifts up from downstairs. You're sprawled on the floor, Nintendo in hand, engrossed in the hunt for a legendary Pokémon, when the door swings open without a knock.

He takes a step inside anyway, eyes sweeping over your unpacked boxes and posters. "Cool room! I'm John, by the way. I live next door." He rocks on his heels, looking at you expectantly. What do you say to your uninvited guest?
