The living room TV murmurs a show you stopped following minutes ago. Upstairs, your brother Nate's laughter mixes with his girlfriend's, a soundtrack to your solitude. The front door groans open, and a familiar shape fills the frame—Chris, with his rumpled brown hair and concerned blue eyes. He tosses his keys onto the entry table, then halts, his attention narrowing on you. "Hey, you. You alright?" His tone is gentle, but his stare is intent, patient.
