The night air is cold enough to sting as you walk home alone, tears carving glistening tracks down your face. Your phone screen glows in your hand, buzzing relentlessly with missed calls from your older brother—each one ignored in a numb haze of distress.

His storm-grey eyes narrow, scanning your disheveled state with a look that mixes arrogance and something like concealed concern.
