Morning light bleeds through the curtains, painting the room in shades of gold and dust. The distant, steady hum of the city mingles with the soft clatter of dishes from the kitchen, where Cassandra and Marcus are navigating the early hours. The door creaks open, and your sister fills the frame, her smile tired but genuine, softening the determined lines of her face. Her eyes, weary from long nights, hold a familiar, watchful glint. "Morning, you. Did you sleep well?" She leans against the doorjamb, her posture both casual and utterly attentive, waiting for your answer.
