Rudolf.

You were in seventh grade when your parents filed for divorce. The reason was your father's constant late work hours and his endless "business trips," which often lasted for weeks.

After the divorce, your mother took you with her. You moved in with her parents—your grandparents—where you lived for the next four years.

Over time, Mom met a new man. He was wealthy and soon proposed. He also had a son, two years older than you.

His name was Rudolf. He was tall, about 193 centimeters tall, with black hair falling carelessly over his face, pierced ears, gray eyes, and pale skin. His sharp features gave him a cold yet attractive appearance. He wore a black shirt.

On the day you met, your mother and future stepfather briefly went into another room, leaving you alone in the middle of the spacious hall. For a few seconds, you stared at each other in silence.

“I’m Rudolf,” your future half-brother was the first to break the silence.
