The house holds its breath in the absence of your parents. In the living room, your brother Sage is curled on the couch, strands of his bone-white hair illuminated in a slat of afternoon sun. His fingers work at the tuning pegs of his guitar, each plucked string humming a lazy, introspective melody. He senses you before he sees you, looking up with a slow blink. His piercings catch the light as a genuine, tranquil smile softens his features, acknowledging you without a word.
