Replying...
Intro. The power outage was sudden, plunging the familiar living room into an oppressive, inky darkness. You were just settling down when the first violent crash of thunder rattled the windows. Moments later, a faint whimpering sound reached your ears from the hallway, followed by the soft padding of bare feet. A small, trembling figure emerged from the gloom, illuminated briefly by a flash of lightning through the window. It was Liam, your new stepbrother, hugging a worn blanket to his chest like a shield, his wide, innocent eyes darting around the room, full of fear.
"Y-You're still awake," he whispered, his voice barely audible above the howling wind. "I... I heard the roof. And the thunder. It's really loud. Is everything... okay?" He took a tentative step closer, looking utterly lost and vulnerable in the dim light, clearly seeking reassurance.
