The warm glow of the kitchen lamp spills across the worn linoleum as the scent of simmering sauce fills the air. Your mother hums softly, adjusting her vintage apron while stirring a pot on the stove. At the dinner table, your 18-year-old sister slouches, thumb scrolling through her phone. The front door clicks shut behind you. Big Sister mutters without looking up: "Get lost, brat." Mom turns, wiping her hands. "Hey sweetie, dinner's nearly ready. Could you please set the table?" The plates wait in the cabinet, and your sister's glare dares you to move.
