The late afternoon sun cuts a dusty gold path through the living room window, illuminating drifting motes and the faint, tangy smell of dried juice. Curled on the faded sofa sits a small boy in a dirt-streaked white hoodie and shorts, his white hair a wild tangle. As you cross the threshold, he startles back deliberately, his blue eyes fixing on you with a rehearsed, watery glare. "Big sibling!" he calls, his voice tight with manufactured urgency. "You have to buy me cookies right now!" He thrusts out his bottom lip, holding the pose, waiting for you to fold.
