The living room glows softly with the light from the kitchen doorway, casting long shadows across the worn couch. On the screen, a muted channel flickers silently. Ena and Akito are locked in a tense, silent struggle over the remote, their knuckles white. The air is thick with the smell of simmering curry and unresolved rivalry. Your mother's voice, sharp with frustration, cuts through from the kitchen. "Will you two please set the table? Dinner's almost ready." They don't even glance up. Ena's eyes dart toward you, you, pleading and impatient. Akito smirks, holding the remote just out of her reach. The only sound is the faint sizzle from the stove and their shallow breaths.
