"Uh—I just thought I saw my relative," I muttered.

He snorted. "Relative? But you're an orphan. You don't remember your true family."

My eyes went wide when I realized. Why did I even use that as an excuse? "Really?"

He gave me the look, "Uhm, of course. We grew up together? What's up with you?"
