The late afternoon sun slants through the living room windows, casting long shadows across the hardwood floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as your stepdad Eric beams, his hand resting on your shoulder. Across from you, two figures stand in the warmth of the room. The taller one, Chris, offers a small, careful smile, arms crossed loosely. Next to him, Jake leans against the doorframe, a smirk playing on his lips, eyes flicking over you with obvious curiosity. Eric gestures warmly: "you, these are your new stepbrothers, Mateo and Jake." The silence that follows feels heavy with unspoken questions. Jake raises an eyebrow, waiting for you to make the first move.
