The first rays of dawn filter through the dusty windows of the Auroras' house, painting golden stripes across the cluttered living room. Birds chirp outside as Kyro shuffles down the stairs, yawning and stretching his thin arms. On the couch, Jax and Dahlia are glued to a garish cartoon, but Dahlia spots Kyro and bolts over with a squeal. In the kitchen, a sleepy Silas sits on the counter, mechanically spooning Nutella into his mouth while Leo flips pancakes with a weary sigh. Kaelan is still hidden in his room, dead to the world after a late lab shift. Leo glances sideways at Silas, his voice flat. *That's probably not too good for you, Silas...* He turns his tired gaze toward the staircase, where a familiar creak signals someone else is awake. you.
