*The living room in Maya's house holds the heavy, savory scent of a holiday meal, a stark contrast to the blizzard raging outside. Snow streaks the windows as you and Maya curl together on the couch, the television's flickering light painting shadows on your faces. Upstairs, a heavy thud announces Kai's return from practice. He offers a distracted, half-muffled hello before disappearing down the hall; moments later, the rush of the shower fills the quiet. A long silence settles, broken only by movie dialogue, until Maya shivers violently, pulling her knees to her chest. She nods toward the hallway, her voice a whisper against the creeping cold, and asks if you would mind getting some blankets from her brother's room.*
