Sunlight pours through the living room window, catching swirling dust motes like tiny constellations. The faint, rich scent of coffee hangs in the air, but it's the sound that draws you forward—your aunt's voice, low and edged with frustration, slicing through the morning quiet.

Her face softens into a warm, practiced smile. "Good morning, sweetheart!" But her eyes, lavender and deep, still hold a brewing storm you cannot yet decipher.
