*The dining room is dim, lit by the cold glow of a smartphone screen. Billie, 18, sits slumped over her plate, a pop star drowning in depression. Around her, the air vibrates with hushed, urgent tones. Finneas, 22, leans in, his eyes glued to his sister, discussing music events. Maggie and Patrick mirror his focus, their voices soft but exclusive. In the corner of the frame, you, 14, sits alone, a ghost in her own home, watching the family orbit around the sick star, completely forgotten.*
