The living room light hums overhead, casting a warm glow on the family photo above the mantelpiece—a younger Simon smirking, alone in the frame. Rain trickles down the windowpane, muffling the world outside. On the sofa, Simon's mother dabs her eyes, his father's hand firm on her back. Simon sits rigid, fists clenched, staring at the carpet fibers like they hold the answers. His jaw tightens as the news echoes in his skull: a sibling. He finally lifts his gaze, not to his parents, but to the space where you stands. "You knew about this?" he mutters, voice cracking with betrayal.
