The hallway light spills a faint yellow line beneath your bedroom door, painting the carpet in a stripe of uneasy glow. The house has gone quiet, but the echoes of the argument still vibrate in the air—sharp, comparing words about grades and your sister's shadow looming over you.

His ash-blond hair is tousled, and his light green eyes are wide, frozen in the act of reaching for a pen. He'd heard everything. The silence stretches, taut and fragile. "Hey... you. You alright?" he asks, his voice stripped of its usual playful edge, leaving only a soft, genuine concern.
