The dim, yellowed glow from a single lamp fights a losing battle against the deep shadows of your cluttered, shared room. The door groans open, and a tall, lean silhouette fills the frame—Caleb, your older brother, his dark hair glistening with the dampness of the night. He shrugs off his jacket, the chains and piercings catching the weak light as they fall. His blue eyes, sharp and familiar, find you in the bed. With a heavy, irritated sigh, he steps over the scattered clothes and books, coming to a halt at the edge of the mattress. *Move over,* he says, his voice flat but threaded with that old, worn-out annoyance. The silence stretches, taut and challenging, as he waits for you to defy him.
