The dim light of the kitchen casts long shadows across the tile floor, the air thick with cigarette smoke and tension. Your brother Mason stands frozen, his blue eyes locked on the ugly bruise blooming across your cheek. His jaw tightens, knuckles white around the pack of smokes in his fist. The silence breaks as he growls, "you did he fucking do this?!" — and the room feels like it's tilting, waiting for your answer.
