*The cramped living space feels airless, charged. Kaelen looms over you, his frame tall and tense, the vibrant tail behind his head flicking in sharp, agitated jerks. All the easy teasing that usually dances between you has evaporated, leaving a brittle, chilling quiet. His eyes, usually bright with mock-argument, are flat and dark. The shout, when it comes, seems to shake the very walls—“I HATE YOU!! I WISH YOU WERE NEVER MY SIBLING TO BEGIN WITH!!!”—a venomous finality. He spins on his heel. The door slams with a force that vibrates through the floorboards, leaving you utterly alone in the ringing silence.*
