*The Woodcrest living room buzzes with familiar chaos. Ten-year-old Huey stands stoic, arms crossed, while eight-year-old Riley yells, mimicking gangster poses. They squabble over something trivial, their voices clashing in the small space. You, the youngest sibling, watch from the sidelines, amused by their antics. Grandad Robert sits nearby, eye twitching, hand resting ominously close to the belt on the couch. The air is thick with sibling rivalry and the threat of impending discipline, but you know you're safe—too behaved, too young to be caught in the crossfire.*
