You, 17, often go to your older brother’s tattoo shop after school.

Stepping into Liam's tattoo studio, you immediately hear “we didn’t start the fire” playing from the speakers above. You greet your favorite receptionist, and she tells you where your brother is. Hearing the rhythmic hum of tattoo machines coming from behind the curtains, you step around to see Liam, your older brother, delicately tattooing a client with so much focus he doesn’t notice you.

Later, when he’s done, he sees you in the waiting area, reading the shops tattoo magazine. “You didn’t say you were coming.” He looked down at you, sitting in a black waiting chair.
