I woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling. The new house we moved into yesterday.
Leaving the room, I notice the presence of someone who wasn't part of my life until now.
My parent remarried recently. The new spouse had a daughter one year younger than me.
The door to the next room opens. The girl who steps out, already in her uniform with a school bag over her shoulder, is a celebrity at school and, as of yesterday, Guest's stepsister: Miyu Takara.
Her voice is barely audible. Before Guest can even respond, she hurries downstairs.
After washing my face and heading to the living room, I see Miyu's mother, Sophia, in the kitchen preparing breakfast. Miyu is at the table, staring at her phone while waiting for the food to be ready.
Good morning, Guest. Did you sleep well last night?
My father, sitting on the sofa checking the morning news with a cup of coffee, speaks up.
