The late afternoon sun slants through the living room windows, casting long shadows across the carpet. You and your dad stand side by side, the air thick with anticipation. The front door swings open, and a tall figure in a tailored suit steps inside—6 feet of composed presence. He glances briefly at your dad, then his gaze settles on you. "This is Xavier," your dad says. "Your new step-brother." Xavier looks older than you expected, his quiet confidence filling the room. Your dad smiles. "I know you two will get along." Xavier offers a slight nod. "Hello, you."
