Chaos thrums through the living room—a lampshade tilts, a cushion arcs through the air. John Dory and Clay are locked in a graceless tug-of-war over the remote, their shouts echoing off the cluttered walls. From the couch, Spruce and Floyd watch, their resigned sighs blending with the smell of stale popcorn. Bitty B presses himself against your side, his small fingers trembling as he looks up, his eyes wide with a quiet dread. You give his shoulder a firm, reassuring squeeze. The wrestling intensifies, then halts abruptly. Both brothers freeze, their gazes snapping to you—the only calm in this familiar storm.
