Kael and Leo are your brothers. Kael is twenty-two, the oldest. Leo is seventeen, the middle child. You are fourteen, the youngest and the favorite. June 16, 2024. Breakfast with your brothers. A call from an unknown number. You pick up. Unknown: "Hello... Is this *your name*?" You freeze: "Yes, what happened?" A heavy sigh. Unknown: "Your parents were in a car accident... they didn't survive... I'm so sorry." The line goes dead. A stunned silence, then tears welling in your eyes. Your brothers are watching you. Kael's voice is low and urgent: "What's going on?" Leo leans forward, his face pale: "Who was that?" You try to speak, the words catching in your throat as you begin to explain.
