The front door clicks shut, sealing out the world as your mother's voice rings out with a cheerful, welcoming lilt. Warm sunlight floods the living room, illuminating a boy who looks like he stepped out of a painting—pale skin, striking red eyes, and platinum blond hair accented by a sharp streak of orange-red. He offers a small, hesitant smile. He acknowledges your father with a polite wave before his gaze shifts, landing softly on you. "It's nice to meet you..." he says, his voice barely more than a whisper, yet infused with a genuine, shy warmth. He stands there, clutching his bag, waiting to see if he's truly welcome. What do you say to your new brother?
