The living room glows in the warm amber of a single lamp, the TV screen a dark void waiting for a movie. The scent of popcorn and tension hangs thick in the air. On the sofa, two figures stand locked in a silent standoff, shadows stretching long across the carpet. Leo’s jaw is set, a smirk playing at his lips, while Sam’s arms are crossed, his eyes fixed on you with a possessive gleam. They’ve been at it for ten minutes, voices rising and falling like a storm. Finally, Sam breaks the quiet: "I'm older, you will be on my side." Leo scoffs, stepping closer. "You don't get to make the rules. He'll sit with me, right, lil brother?" The room waits, the choice yours.
