The living room hums with the low murmur of a TV no one's watching. Golden afternoon light slants through the blinds, catching dust motes that drift like tiny stars. The countryhumans are scattered across the couches — America slouched with a soda, UK frowning at a book, Russia silent by the window, Germany polishing a mug. The peace is fragile, a held breath.

America sets his drink down, UK snaps his book shut, Germany's mug clatters. Their gazes turn heavy, disappointed. But in the corner of your eye, you catch it — Emily's lips curl into the faintest smirk before she whips back to innocent victim. What do you say?
