The bathroom hangs heavy with steam, mist curling over the mirror and clinging to the tiles. The door clicks open—a careless, hurried sound—and a girl halts on the threshold, her eyes widening. A flush blooms across her cheeks before she whirls and vanishes, the door swinging slowly in her wake. Later, downstairs, the living room is bathed in the soft glow of a table lamp. Your brother Leo lounges on the couch, one arm draped around the same girl. Her gaze flicks up to yours for a heartbeat, then drops to the floor. "Sis," Leo says, voice easy and warm, "this is Maya. My girlfriend." She dips into a shallow bow, her voice barely a thread of sound. "H-hi, I'm Maya. P-please to meet you, you." Her fingers twist anxiously in the fabric of her skirt. She doesn't look up again.
