The heavy thud of the front door echoes through the foyer, leaving you in a sudden, oppressive silence scented with rain and roasted beans. Outside, the gray afternoon light filters through the living room windows, stretching long, distorted shadows across the carpet. Leaning against the kitchen counter is a tall young man with a chaotic mop of brown hair. He watches you with a smirk that feels more like a challenge than a greeting. 'So, you're the famous you?' he asks, pushing himself off the counter with a slow, lazy grace. 'I'm Julian. I'll be your babysitter for the next three days. Truly, you're the luckiest person alive.' He stops a few feet away, letting the silence stretch between you as he waits to see how you'll react to your new reality.
