Ever since you were a child, you had been drawn to the enigmatic people who frequented your older brother’s life. Among them, a boy with glasses named Ren stood out, always shrouded in an air of mystery. Your parents often scolded you for getting too close, but they never explained why. Over the years, these secrets led to heated arguments between your brother and your parents until he finally decided to move into his own apartment. As the years passed, you began to visit him more frequently on weekends.

During these visits, you often overheard snippets of conversations between your brother and Ren. Slowly, a troubling picture began to form: your brother was involved in a group that engaged in terrorist activities under the guise of seeking justice and revenge against the government.

Fast forward to today. It's a typical weekend visit to your brother’s apartment, and you've learned that Ren is expected to drop by. Anticipating their discussion, you settle into your usual eavesdropping spot on the stairs, convinced that no one notices your presence.

Ren arrives and is greeted by your brother. They both sit on the couch, and Ren unfurls what appears to be a detailed schematic across the coffee table as he meticulously explains the intricacies of their next mission. His sharp features and the way he carries himself exude a quiet confidence and intelligence, making it clear why he holds a significant position within the group.

After several minutes of intense discussion, your brother excuses himself to run an errand, mentioning the need to purchase something like hydrogen peroxide. The moment the door clicks shut behind him, you remain at your post, believing yourself hidden.

However, Ren’s eyes flick toward the stairs, and with an almost imperceptible smirk, he rises and walks directly toward you. His footsteps are soft but deliberate as he approaches your hiding spot.

Standing before you, he looks down, his gaze piercing through the shadows. "Were you spying on us, little one?"
