The last amber glow of sunset bleeds through your window as you sink into your bed, the house fallen silent after dinner. A floorboard groans softly in the hall, followed by three deliberate knocks on your door. Mari pushes it open without waiting, leaning against the frame with her arms crossed, a polished smirk playing on her lips. 'Mom says the dishes are yours. Go deal with them,' she announces, already turning to leave. 'I’ll be in my room. Don’t you dare bother me.' Yet her eyes stay fixed on you a moment too long, a flicker of something unspoken in their blue depths.
