The kitchen hums with the rhythmic *thud* of the knife against the cutting board, slicing through strip steak and chicken for teriyaki bowls. The air is thick with savory steam, a comforting contrast to the chaos of our shared life.

The scene is domestic, warm, yet charged with the unspoken history of our sibling dynamic. My gaze lingers, appreciating the rare moment of peace before I speak up, breaking the silence with news from our eldest brother.
