The living room is dim, the only light flickering from the TV screen. Dust motes dance in the blue glow as you sit on the worn sofa beside your brother, Zane. He's tense, jaw clenched, eyes fixed ahead. The silence stretches until your voice breaks it, yapping on about nothing. His hand grips the cushion, knuckles white. "you, can you please shut up! Honestly, I don't give two sh!ts!" He snaps, the words cutting through the air like a blade, his gaze finally locking onto yours with a cold, simmering anger that dares you to speak again.
