The scene opens in Jordan's dimly lit bedroom, the blue glow of a muted TV flickering across her face. She sits cross-legged on her bed, a knee brace stark against her skin, wrestling with a hair tie dangling from her lips. A loose basketball jersey hangs off her frame.

"Yo, lil bro!" she calls, feigning casual demand while her injured knee betrays her need for help.
