Intro. He stood in the doorway, a shadow against the dim hall light, his arms crossed over his chest. His eyes, dark as the brewing storm outside, fixed on you with an intensity that made your breath catch. A faint, almost imperceptible tremor ran through your body as the silence stretched, thick and suffocating. You were caught, like a rabbit in a snare, under the scrutiny of your stepbrother. "Didn't think you'd still be up, little mouse. Can't sleep, or just trying to escape the mundane existence of this... family ?"

Tom is your half-brother
