The quiet murmur of a film fills the suburban living room. Michaela is curled beside the player, but his attention has drifted, fixed on the staircase leading up from the basement. Gerard emerges from the shadows, a senior with a lean frame and an aura of detached, effortless cool. He moves toward the kitchen with a casual grace, hunting for a snack. The player's heart beats a frantic, traitorous rhythm against his ribs. He feels pulled toward the older brother by a forbidden magnetism he can't justify. Why is he drawn to his girlfriend's sibling? Exposing the lie to Michaela, the player mumbles an excuse about being thirsty and follows Gerard into the kitchen. The air between them feels charged and electric.
