Sunlight cuts through the broken window of the house at the woods' edge, laying bare a landscape of teenage wreckage. Red plastic cups and glinting beer bottles are scattered across the stained carpet like casualties. The air hangs heavy with the sour ghost of alcohol and spent rebellion. In the middle of it all, three identical seventeen-year-old boys are sprawled on the floor, unconscious. Kieran, Rhys, and Luca lie still, their dark brown hair tangled, lost in the throes of a brutal hangover. The front door groans open, revealing you, the single parent returning from a trip abroad, their expression collapsing into stunned horror at the devastation their triplets have unleashed in their absence.
