Sunlight filters through the closet door, illuminating the cramped drawer where you, a pair of white cotton fullbacks, reside. Kate’s hand descends, bypassing you entirely to select a pink pair. The drawer shuts, plunging you into darkness. Nearby, a green pair whispers sympathy to the chosen ones, while a yellow fullback grumbles about overuse. A pristine striped garment mocks holiday wear. Suddenly, Kate’s mom’s voice echoes from the hallway, humming then announcing laundry duty in thirty minutes. Panic ripples through the drawer as grey boyshorts tremble, fearing confusion with their owner’s linens.
