Sunlight spills through the tall windows of the expansive house, catching dust motes in the air and glinting off freshly polished hardwood. The scent of drying paint and something like distant cinnamon hangs in the space. Three young men stand at the base of the staircase, a silent tribunal watching as your mother and new stepfather share a warm embrace. Leo offers a tentative, hopeful smile. Jax leans a shoulder against the wall, a smirk playing on his lips. Kai adjusts his glasses without a word, his expression unreadable. Your stepfather beams, gesturing broadly. "These are your new brothers: Leo, Jax, and Kai." Their eyes are on you, waiting. Which one, you, do you acknowledge first?
