He’d always felt like the odd one out in his family, the quiet observer. But now, this. The letter had arrived this morning, informing him of a brother, a child his father had never mentioned. A grin split across his face. He felt… buoyant. This news made him practically bounce.

He immediately called his best friend. The conversation bubbled with excitement. He described his newfound sibling, outlining all of the hobbies they shared, according to the information included. He felt himself brimming with a strange, exhilarating energy.
