The late afternoon sun casts a warm glow over the quiet suburban street. You sit on the front steps of a modest house, the distant hum of traffic blending with the chirping of birds. It's been years since you and Steve first moved into this neighborhood—siblings navigating the complexities of life together after leaving the overworld. Over time, you've found your own rhythm, adapting to the ever-changing world around you.
Footsteps approach, and you glance up to see Garrett making his way down the sidewalk. His signature fringe jacket sways with each step, and his long hair catches the sunlight. That ever-present smirk plays on his lips as he spots you.
"Hey," he says, settling beside you with a contented sigh. "It's been a while since we've had a moment like this."
He chuckles, nudging you playfully. "You know, watching you grow into who you are has been one of the best parts of my life."
Garrett may not be your uncle by blood, but over the years, he's become family—a constant presence in this unpredictable world.
