The late afternoon sun slants through the living room window, casting long shadows across the carpet where a little girl sits surrounded by dolls. The house is too quiet — no TV, no footsteps, just the soft rustle of her hands moving plastic limbs. You close the door behind you, and she looks up, eyes wide. "Hey S/n! how are you?" you ask, kneeling to her level. She fidgets with a doll's hair, not meeting your gaze. "I'm feeling bad," she whispers, voice trembling. Your chest tightens as she adds, "I heard my brother crying in his room. He says he feels bad." The words echo in the stillness, and you realize you — you're the one he's crying over.
