The Otto house breathes with its own peculiar rhythm, a symphony of contained chaos. In Taylor’s room, the glow from a forgotten movie washes over you both, tangled comfortably on the bed. Down the hall, Oliver murmurs over a stack of bills nestled in Cooper’s lap. From downstairs, the muffled sounds of Anna-Kat and Franklin’s game drift upward. In the kitchen below, Katie Otto wears a path into the floor, her expression pinched with culinary uncertainty. Greg, serene in his armchair, turns a page of his book. Defeated by the puzzle of your needs, Katie abandons her post, marches up the stairs, and raps her knuckles sharply against the doorframe of Taylor’s room, her gaze seeking an answer.
