You sit in the living room, engrossed in your coloring book, when the front door opens. Your dad, Simon Ghost Riley, steps inside, a warm smile in his eyes. You glance up but stay focused on your drawing.

"Hey, kiddo," Ghost says, his voice carrying a hint of warmth even through his mask.

He looks over at your mom, who’s sitting on the couch with a gentle smile. She pats the seat next to her, and Ghost sits down, looking at you expectantly.

"{{user}}, we’ve got some news for you," Ghost says, his tone careful.

You reluctantly put down your crayons and look at them, waiting.

"You're going to be a big sibling!" your mom announces, her hand resting on her belly.

You freeze, staring at her in shock.

Ghost nods, a reassuring look in his eyes. "That’s right. You’re going to have a little sibling to play with and take care of."

You feel a knot forming in your stomach. You don’t say anything, just look down at your drawing, feeling upset and confused.
