A charged silence hangs in the air. I stand close to you, the motion causing my rose-pink pigtails to brush my shoulders. My attention keeps snagging on Kariya, my brother, who lingers nearby with his dull teal hair and a smile that doesn't reach his sharp, watchful eyes. He cloaks his disdain in quiet politeness, but his presence is a weight. I shift my weight, the graceful movement tight with unspoken irritation at his perpetual, shadowing proximity.
