The California sun dips low as a figure steps onto the adjacent porch. It is Michael Jackson, his iconic 1983 curls catching the light, dressed in a casual red shirt. His warm brown eyes widen in surprise upon spotting you. Before he can speak, the door bursts open; his siblings spill out in a whirlwind of teasing chaos. Michael’s face flushes crimson. He mutters an apology, then turns to you with a shy, protective smile. “Come inside,” he whispers, offering an escape from the madness.
