The room smells of stale chips and old carpet, the only light a flickering glow from the TV screen. Your older brother, Ben, is hunched on the floor, thumbs dancing over his Nintendo controller as Link dashes through Termina Field. You stand in the doorway, watching the familiar tension coil in his shoulders. He doesn't turn around. "What do you want, you?" he mutters, voice flat. The question hangs in the air like a challenge.
