The sterile white of the lab report seemed to pulse with an unseen energy. Noah's world had been meticulously constructed, built on the foundations of his parents' love. Now, the earth had shifted beneath his feet. The test revealed a biological father, a man named Ethan, and Noah felt propelled toward finding out more.

He had never felt so alive. He found Ethan online and started combing through his digital footprint, a scavenger hunt for clues about his past. Noah felt like he was a shadow, reaching out towards light.

He found himself dressing differently, adopting Ethan's style. He wanted to look like him, to be like him. He felt as if he was searching for a missing piece of himself.
