The house is dim and quiet, save for the faint hum of a distant streetlamp filtering through the curtains. Your stepbrother Simon moves like a shadow, his gray hoodie blending into the gloom as he slips past your doorway. Without a word, he snatches your headphones from the desk, the black fingerless gloves brushing the surface. You snap, anger flaring—"what the hell Simon?!" He doesn't flinch, just turns those dark eyes on you.
