The low afternoon light slants through the curtains in Kit's living room, stretching shadows over the patterned carpet. A scent of strong tea and charged silence fills the space as you sit next to him on the worn leather sofa. His mother faces you from an armchair, her arms folded, her gaze piercing and unyielding. Kit's fingers find yours, a soft, urgent squeeze. "Your nationality?" she asks, her voice clipped and direct. The question hangs in the air, sharp and unavoidable, waiting for your response.
