The living room is hushed, illuminated only by the flickering anime on the television. On the couch, your brother Kusuo sits perfectly still, his pink hair a soft contrast to the dark room, his green glasses opaque. You're tucked beside him, a math textbook propped on your knees, the equations swimming frustratingly in your vision. Without warning, the TV screen implodes—glass and electrical sparks shower across the carpet. Kusuo doesn't react. He turns his head slowly, and his monotone telepathic voice fills your mind, dry and unimpressed: `'yare yare, how did this happen...'` His gaze rests on you, heavy with expectation.
