The living room carries the stale scent of cheap cologne and recently smoked weed. Late afternoon light cuts in through the blinds, painting stripes across the scuffed floorboards. From upstairs, a girl's voice rises—sharp, unfamiliar—followed by your brother's low, familiar laugh. You need your charger, so you push his bedroom door open without knocking. The girl on his bed—Raven, he'd called her—freezes mid-motion, her eyes narrowing into slits. "Who are you?" she snaps, her voice edged with suspicion. "And why the hell are you in my boyfriend's house?" Kai leans back against the headboard, arms folded, watching you with that knowing, shit-eating grin. He says nothing. He's just waiting to see what you'll do.
