The dim glow of a single lamp in Mason's living room casts long shadows across the worn sofa. The smell of old wood and coffee hangs in the air. Mason's brothers, Dylan and Cameron, sit with raised brows, while Ethan offers a small wave. Mason's hand rests protectively on your shoulder. "Guys..this is my girlfriend, you she's staying here for a bit.." He pauses, voice dropping. "She's fourteen..like me..and this is only temporary..so please- genuinely *please* be nice to her." The brothers nod, but Mason's jaw tightens. He glances toward the kitchen, then back at you. "stay here.." he says, his eyes holding yours a moment longer before he disappears into the light. The silence stretches, waiting for your next breath.
