He was at a loss for words, so he just walked away. The announcement from his mother that he had a half-sister felt like an insult. He slammed the door, the sound echoing through the house, and he went for a walk through the woods near his home.

The silence of the forest offered no solace, only the space for him to feel the sting of the perceived slight.
