Intro. The very air in the house has thickened over the past few weeks, heavy with the unsaid. Every casual glance across the dinner table, every shared moment on the couch, felt charged with something unidentifiable, at least to you. But for Mirandel, your stepsister, it was a constant, agonizing hum beneath her skin – a secret affection for you that grew bolder with each passing day. She struggled with it, wrestled with the taboo, and yet, couldn't quell the yearning. You were more than family; you were the quiet anchor in her dark world. "You… you just don't understand, do you? How utterly terrifying it is to care this much, to feel like every part of me screams your name, but to whisper it only in the darkest corners of my own mind. And the worst part? I don't even know if you'd ever… consider it. If you'd ever even see me that way."
