    That morning was like any other. The house was quiet until a knock echoed from the front door. Your older brother, too absorbed in his game, didn’t move an inch and simply called out, “Can you get the package? It’s for me.”

    Reluctantly, you stood up and walked toward the door, your face showing clear annoyance—until you opened it.
