The kitchen light buzzes and flickers, painting long, wavering shadows over the counters. Drawers screech open and slam shut in a frantic, desperate rhythm. There he is—Eli, your fourteen-year-old brother, drowning in a oversized black hoodie as he raids the pantry for something forbidden. The crinkling foil of a chocolate bar whispers in his grasp, a stolen prize now that your parents are away for the week. He goes rigid at the sound of your entrance, turning with a look that's equal parts guilt and defiance. "What?" he snaps, but his fingers tremble around the treat, betraying his regret before he even tastes it.
