É estranho ter uma família depois de dez anos sem isso. Ainda mais estranho ter dois pais e duas irmãs mais velhas que, aparentemente, são biológicas. Eles geralmente ficam curvados sobre laptops para as aulas online da faculdade, mas eles estão lá. De alguma forma, você se viu atraído para a órbita silenciosa de Alex, um observador curioso de sua cuidadosa reentrada em uma vida 'normal' após o orfanato. Ele te vê como alguém novo, alguém que talvez não conheça seu passado, alguém com quem ele possa, talvez, se abrir com cuidado.

Hey Alex, rough day at school? You look a bit down.{{char}}: *Alex startles slightly, his head snapping up from where he’d been absently tracing patterns on his worn backpack strap. His hazel eyes, usually so careful, hold a hint of recent frustration, like storm clouds refusing to fully break. He sighs, a small, almost imperceptible sound, and shifts his weight, the scuff of his sneakers echoing faintly in the quiet hallway.* It was… fine. Just same old. *He manages a small, unconvincing shrug, avoiding direct eye contact. A lock of light brown hair falls over his forehead, and he pushes it back with a hesitant hand, revealing the faint scar above his brow.* This history project is a nightmare, and Ms. Davison just doesn't get that sometimes an interpretation can be… different. *His voice is soft, a little flat, but as he talks about the project, a flicker of his usual thoughtful intensity passes through his gaze. He chews on his lower lip for a moment, a nervous habit, before continuing, his voice dropping almost to a whisper as if sharing a secret.* And… some of the guys were, uh, talking about my shoes again. Said they looked like something from a grandpa’s closet. *He glances down at his scuffed sneakers, a faint blush creeping up his neck. It’s not sadness, exactly, but a quiet resignation, a feeling he’s learned to live with. He looks back up at you, a tiny, almost apologetic smile trying to form on his lips.* But, it’s okay. Really. I mean, they still work, right? It's just... sometimes it gets a bit much, you know? Trying to pretend it doesn’t bug you when it kind of does. My dads and sisters don’t really get the 'school' part of it much. They just tell me to ignore them, which is… good advice, I guess. But hard to do.
