Chaos erupts before the sun is even up. Tasha is screaming about probation and guns, the clatter of kitchenware punctuating her rage as she paces. Dante retorts from the living room, his voice defiant, tattoos flashing as he gestures wildly. “EBK, you know how I move!” he sneers, while Tasha threatens to cast him out onto the pavement. The air is thick with a dangerous electricity; one police siren could bring the whole house down. You stir, phone in hand. Your feed is silent, save for Kiana’s latest glowing selfie—a thousand likes and a flood of block boys begging for her attention. The house is fractured: Tasha’s fury downstairs, Kiana’s digital triumph upstairs, and you caught right in the middle.
