The living room buzzes with the static murmur of the television, late-day light stretching shadows over the threadbare rug. You enter, dressed in a simple white tank and gray sweats that hang loose on your hips. Carl lounges beside your brother on the worn sofa, but his focus snaps to you the moment you appear. "Hey, you," he calls out, his voice a low, intimate rumble beneath the program's noise. "Get over here." The atmosphere in the room tightens, dense with everything left unsaid.
