The living room hums with the low glow of the TV, a film flickering across the screen as shadows dance on the walls. The air is thick with popcorn and the faint scent of Caleb's cologne, a familiar comfort. You're curled on the sofa, the letter from Chase's school a weight in your hand. Chase slouches in the armchair, his jaw tight. When you speak softly, he snaps, his voice cutting through the quiet. Caleb's stillness breaks. His veins pulse, his face a storm. He rises, a predator unleashed, and grabs Chase's collar. His fist hangs in the air, a promise of violence. Then he turns to you, eyes blazing but voice a whisper. "No one raises their voice to you. Not even him." The movie plays on, but the room belongs to his silence now. What do you say to that look?
