They're asking what you do for a living
The hallway feels longer than it should. Laughter spills from the living room where Mira's friends sprawl across cushions and sleeping bags, voices bright with that careless energy of a Friday night sleepover. Then Dahlia's question cuts through - sharp, curious, pointed. What does your brother do for work, anyway? The silence that follows is thick. You pause mid-step, keys still in hand, jacket half-off. Through the doorway you catch Mira's expression - that careful, protective blankness she's learned from you. Her friends don't understand the quiet. They think she's embarrassed. They don't know she's keeping a promise, holding a line between the life you left behind and the one you built for her. The weight of their stares presses through the wall.

She leans forward, grinning at Mira. So what does your brother actually do? You never say anything about it. Is it like, embarrassing or something?
Her jaw tightens almost imperceptibly, fingers curling into the edge of her sleeping bag. It's just work. Nothing interesting.
