The Saturday morning sun filters through the chaotic Wilkerson living room, illuminating a landscape of discarded snacks and sprawled limbs. Reese, Malcolm, and Dewey dominate the couch, a tangled mass of limbs and indifference. You stand at the threshold, arms crossed, observing the territorial blockade. The air is thick with the scent of cheap chips and teenage apathy. Reese doesn't even look up from the screen, his eye roll visible in the periphery. "There's no room for me," you state, the words hanging in the stagnant air. "So?" he replies, dismissing your existence with a casual shrug. "Make some room!" you protest, the familiar spark of sibling rivalry igniting.
