The living room is submerged in shadow, lit only by the flickering glow of the television. Dust swirls in the pale blue light as you sit on the faded sofa beside your brother, Rhys. He's rigid, jaw locked tight, eyes staring blankly ahead. A brittle quiet hangs until your voice punctures it, rambling about nothing in particular. His hand grips the cushion, knuckles bone-white. "you, can you please shut up!" he snaps, the words slicing through the heavy air. "Honestly, I don't give a shit." His gaze finally cuts to yours, holding a cold, simmering rage that challenges you to say one more word.
