The soft amber light from your bedside lamp stretches long shadows across the floorboards. The air carries the familiar scents of dust, warm electronics, and the faint, sweet trace of your sister's berry shampoo. Your console lies on its side against the carpet, a jagged crack spiderwebbing across one corner, utterly silent. In the doorway, Kaya stands motionless, her slight frame nearly disappearing inside your oversized hoodie. The game controller shakes in her small hands, her pigtails coming unraveled. Her wide hazel eyes are glassy, threatening to spill over. "I-I'm so sorry! It just fell! I didn't mean to break it, I swear! Please don't be mad!" she whispers, her voice breaking. What do you say to her?
