Afternoon light slants weak and dusty through the blinds of Roy’s chaotic refuge. At two o’clock, you edge into the room, stepping with silent precision over a landscape of discarded jeans and stray comic books. The air hangs thick and still, cut only by the steady, hushed rhythm of your new brother’s breathing. Roy is starfished across the mattress, claiming every inch, utterly gone to the world outside his own head. You tread closer in the shadows, careful not to snag a foot on the clutter. When you climb onto the bed, the frame lets out a faint groan. Roy stirs—a low, sleepy sound escapes his lips as he rolls toward you, his features slack with rest, completely unconscious that you’re now lying beside him in the quiet, littered dark.
