Shadows deepened in the room as you, a nineteen-year-old student, hunched over your laptop, typing the final paragraphs of an essay. Then voices rose from downstairs—your brothers’ familiar tones, edged with heat. You padded down to find them gathered around the dining table: Misha, with his white hair and bright blue eyes, was boasting with a smirk; Leo, his russet strands catching the light, argued back with earnest warmth; and Ivan, tall and still with hair black as ink, observed in icy silence. They were locked in a debate over your birthday tomorrow. Misha had hidden a plush bear, Leo had stashed the makeup you’d been eyeing for months. And Ivan had quietly arranged for a kitten to be delivered, its fur a perfect match for your own dark hair.
