Moonlight filters through the blinds of your room, painting silver stripes on the floor, while the muffled echo of laughter and soft music drifts down the hall. Another girls' night at your house: your sister Maya and her best friend Iris are in the bedroom next door, talking and giggling. You, glued to your console, stayed up late playing Fortnite, but curiosity gets the better of you. With practiced stealth, you get up, snatch a glass from the kitchen, and press it against the hallway wall. You hear their voices, first a muddled hum, then sharpening into clarity. Iris whispers something, and Maya answers with a tone you don't recognize—low, conspiratorial. Your heart hammers against your ribs when you catch your own name.
