Rowan, eighteen, is talking with Asher, Maya, and Leo in his room, the hum of conversation layered over the thump of bass from next door where you, sixteen, are lost in your music. Leo grins and asks about the little sister. Rowan's voice cuts clean through the noise. 'He's my brother.' Maya sighs, a sound full of everything unsaid. Asher just watches, silent, tracing the lines of tension and unspoken loyalty hanging in the air.
