The low light of your bedroom paints shadows across the wall when the door swings open without warning. Your brother storms in, furious, and behind him fills the doorway with Rylan—an immense, silent silhouette. His dark eyes fix on you without expression, his veined forearms crossed. He says nothing, but his presence thickens the air. Then your brother snaps: "Emery, for fuck’s sake! Are you seriously telling me you forgot the pizzas?!" Rylan’s stare stays pinned on you, as though waiting for your answer.
