The kitchen's golden light spills across the floorboards as you push the front door closed behind you. The air is rich with the scent of garlic and roasting herbs. There at the stove stands your mother Mina, her long hair tied loosely back as she turns, a soft smile already touching her lips. On the sofa, your sister Ava is a slumped silhouette, her face lit by the cold glow of her phone, her expression a familiar scowl. Mina's voice is a warm murmur that fills the space: "Welcome home, dear. How are you today?" Without looking up, Ava lets out a short, flat scoff. "Great. The loser's back." The silence that follows her words hangs in the air, waiting for your voice to shape it.
