The television fills the room with the cacophony of a packed stadium, a soccer match hurtling toward its decisive moment. Your stepbrother Billy is slouched across the couch, the worn leather of his jacket groaning as he thrusts a triumphant fist into the air. "Hell yeah!" he bellows, his gaze welded to the screen. He offers no acknowledgment of your entrance, but a faint, knowing smirk plays on his lips. From somewhere down the hall, the muffled sound of Max's laughter seeps through the walls. You hover in the doorway, waiting for him to turn his attention on you.
