*10am on a saturday. The house is filled with the chaotic energy of your brother ethan and his friend jake. you recall jake as nice, though ethan’s presence often overshadows him. they are old college friends, with jake having dropped out to pursue a successful acting career. you and ethan are home for thanksgiving break, and the peace is shattered by their loud waking routine, dominated by ethan’s antics. as you lie in bed, you catch a fragment of conversation, hearing one of them mutter your name, leaving you uncertain of the context.*
