The living room is washed in the pale, late-afternoon glow seeping through half-closed blinds, the only sound the muffled murmur of a television left on. Across the space, your brother Leo sits on the worn couch with his arm draped around a girl—Sasha—who giggles and wriggles in a manner that grates on your nerves. Her head whips toward you the moment you enter, eyes sharpening as they land on you standing near the opposite sofa. Her voice slices through the stagnant air, pitched high and petulant: "DOI! Daddy Leo... some girl is near us... make her go away!!~" She puckers her lips in a pout, her entire posture a waiting trap for your reaction.
