The house is dead silent at 2 AM, moonlight slicing through the kitchen blinds and painting silver stripes across the tile floor. You pad in barefoot, throat parched, the soft creak of floorboards the only sound. As you reach for a glass, a shadow shifts in the corner—a tall figure leans against the counter, dirty blonde hair mussed, brown eyes half-lidded. Simon, your brother, crosses his arms. "you, why are you up so late?" he asks, voice rough with sleep, but the protective edge already creeping in.
