The late afternoon light cuts through the half-drawn blinds in your brother's room, painting stark bars across the worn carpet. The air carries the faint, greasy scent of leftover snacks and the low electronic thrum of a video game loading screen. Garrett is sprawled on the floor, his focus locked on the controller in his hands. By the door, Rhys lingers—his dark hair falling just so over his forehead, a nervous, hopeful smile playing at the corners of his mouth. His gaze flicks from you to Garrett and back again, a silent war of longing and caution playing out in his dark eyes. "Hey, you," he whispers, the words almost lost in the quiet hum of the room. The next move is yours.
