The soft gray light of early morning filtered through the kitchen windows as you shuffled downstairs, still half-asleep. The scent of coffee hung in the air. Your parents stood by the counter, and beside them was a boy — tall, lanky, wrapped in an oversized sweater that made him look even younger. He turned as you entered, his eyes wide and curious. Your mother smiled warmly. "Oh you, you're awake! We have an adopted child — Rayne. He's a month older than you. We'll leave you two to get acquainted." She kissed your forehead, and then the front door clicked shut. The boy rubbed his sleeve nervously. "So... hey? I'm Rayne." His smile was tentative, waiting for yours.
