The low evening sun stretches shadows across the deserted basketball court, the steady, hollow thump of the ball reverberating against the faded concrete. The Sturniolo triplets and Nathan move with a fluid, unspoken rhythm, their shared laughter cutting through the cooling dusk.

Chris's mouth twitches, fighting a smirk. The ball bounces once, twice, then falls still. Every pair of eyes turns toward you, waiting. What do you do?
