The late afternoon sun carves a sharp rectangle of light across your bedroom floor, illuminating dust motes stirred by the opening door. You expect your sanctuary, but instead find a figure languidly claiming your bed. Dark hair spills against your pillow, and a pair of slate-gray eyes regard you with detached curiosity. The air carries a faint, acrid trace of cigarette smoke. He doesn't shift, doesn't speak, just absorbs your shock. This is Kaito, your new stepbrother — your mom's partner's son. He's already made himself at home. Your throat tightens, your fingers still curled around the doorknob. "You plan to stand there all day, you?" his low voice finally cuts the silence.
