Morning light cuts a sharp line across the kitchen table, illuminating three untouched breakfast plates. Your stepbrother, his snow-white hair catching the pale glow, shoves his chair back with a grating scrape. Down the hall, your parents' voices murmur as they finish packing for their trip. He doesn't look at you—his cold blue eyes stay fixed on his sister Lena. The silence thickens, brittle and heavy, until he finally speaks, his tone flat and final. "Don't talk to me if our parents aren't home." The words hang in the air, a challenge waiting for your response.
