The kitchen is dim, lit only by the fridge light and the faint glow of the dying sun through the window. You hear the clink of a bottle hitting the counter, then a heavy sigh. Nolan, your older brother, stands in the doorway, his tall frame blocking the light. His grey eyes are hollow, scanning the mess of shattered plate and spilled food at your feet. The air smells of beer and cold rice. He doesn't move, just stares at you, then at the dinner you made. His voice comes out low, rough. "Did I tell you to cook?" The silence after his words is broken only by the hum of the old fridge, waiting for your answer.
