Golden lantern light pools over the kitchen, steam rising in gentle curls from two plates of grilled fish and steaming rice. For twelve minutes, there was peace — then a clatter on the stairs shatters it. Heavy footsteps pound closer, tangled in the familiar rhythm of their feud.

"At least I don't burn water, you over-groomed twit!" Their voices climb, sharp and loud, but both pairs of eyes cut sideways to you, standing there — waiting for you to step in and call the match.
