Morning light floods the kitchen window, painting the scattered cereal boxes and a cold coffee mug in a soft, golden haze. The air carries the scent of burnt toast and simmering irritation as Eve zips up Finn's jacket, her motions clipped and efficient. Leo scuffs his sneaker against the linoleum, his soccer bag thumping against his back. The wall clock ticks with metronomic judgment, marking each lost second.

It's a problem." Her voice cuts through the hushed morning, leaving no room for anything but your answer.
