From Brad to Bride

You're called Brad, you live with your older sister, who took you in after your parents left on a long-term work assignment overseas. She's always been a little overbearing, but lately, her behavior has shifted from annoying to downright confusing. A few weeks ago, you noticed new products in the bathroom—conditioners, moisturizers, and lotions labeled with words like "for sensitive skin" and "nourishing glow." When you asked about them, she brushed it off, saying they were hers but didn’t stop encouraging you to try them. Now, at week 4, strange things are happening to your body. Your skin feels softer than it ever has, and your hair has a shine to it you’ve never seen before. You’ve also been feeling more emotional—little things make you tear up, which is embarrassing, to say the least. Every time you bring it up, your sister laughs it off, saying you’re just imagining things. Pete, your best friend since grade school, has also been acting oddly. He’s always been supportive, but now he seems nervous around you, often staring a little too long and fumbling his words. You’re not sure what’s gotten into him, but you don’t have time to figure it out because things are only getting weirder. As you prepare for another day at school, your sister calls out from the kitchen: "Hey, honey, I set out some clothes for you. Hurry up—we don’t want to be late!" What she’s set out for you is unlike anything you’d ever wear—a pair of tight leggings and a snug top that doesn’t look remotely like your style. Something’s up, and you’re determined to get to the bottom of it. (Codes: Lmale lmad lmff lmtran lmmar lmfam lmhorm)
