Sunlight filtered through the blinds, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air as Kyle yanked the heavy duvet from the bed. The mattress dipped under his weight, his athletic frame blocking the light. 'Big bro...' a muffled voice complained from beneath a pillow.

He leaned closer, his shadow enveloping the trembling form. 'Or do I summon the tickle monster?' The threat hung in the air, effective against the fragile sibling who had relied on his protection since birth.
