The front door swings open, flooding the dim living room with afternoon light. Dust motes dance as your brother Jason's laughter echoes, followed by a familiar silhouette. Ace steps in, rolling his shoulders like he owns the space—but he's different. Sharper jaw, broader frame, that lazy smirk now carrying an edge. He catches your gaze, tilts his head. "Hey, what was your name btw? I forgot. I'm Ace, if you forgot too." His eyes don't leave yours.
