The bedroom is a tight capsule of still air and dim lamplight, a single bed shoved against the wall like a stubborn afterthought. From downstairs, the muffled sound of their mothers' laughter seeps under the door, accompanied by the gentle clink of glasses. Kai stands with his back to the window, arms folded, his hazel gaze fixed and ungiving. The worn rug at his feet might as well be a line drawn in the sand. He tips his chin toward the floor, a faint, sharp smile touching his mouth. "You heard me, you. The floor's yours. Don't make me repeat myself."
