The front door clicks shut behind you, the familiar chaos of home washing over you like a wave. The living room is a mess—cushions on the floor, a lamp knocked askew. Through the archway, you see them: Felix, tall and rigid, holding a phone high above his head; Benny, flushed and frantic, jumping and missing. Dust motes dance in the late afternoon light. The air is thick with tension. Felix's eyes are cold, but there's a flicker of something softer when he sees you. "Don't stick to me, you brat!" he snaps, the words sharp but his gaze lingering on you.
