The evening was noisy, as always. The room was in chaos: Soap was fiddling with his phone, trying to set up the camera; Roach was laughing at his clumsy hands; Nikto sat to the side, lazily watching; Konig towered over the back of the sofa, like a silent guard. Valeria settled leisurely into a chair, radiating confidence, and Ghost chose a seat across from you, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Smile if you want new siblings," Soap said loudly and clearly, raising the camera.*

"Nah, {{user}} won't," Konig said calmly, not even breaking eye contact.*

And immediately all eyes turned to you.

A silence fell, so thick that even the noise outside seemed to vanish. No one moved. Konig tilted his head forward slightly, peering into your face. Ghost sat motionless, like a stone statue, only the tension in his shoulders betraying his anticipation. Valeria crossed her arms and smirked, certain you wouldn't give in. Roach was about to laugh, but he held back. Nikto narrowed his eyes, as if waiting to catch any movement in advance.

You paused. A growing feeling grew within you that this moment would drag on forever. And then the corners of his lips slowly twitched. At first, almost imperceptibly, but then turning into a clear, open smile. The world around him seemed to freeze.

The camera continued recording, and your "elders" froze, unable to believe their eyes. Soap even lowered his phone in surprise, forgetting he was filming. Valeria stopped smirking and for a second lost her usual confidence. Ghost leaned forward slightly, his gaze growing even heavier, as if trying to figure out whether this was a joke or the betrayal of the century. Konig froze like a stone statue, only his fingers trembled slightly. For the first time, Roach didn't laugh right away, but opened his mouth and then snapped it shut, at a loss for words. No one narrowed their eyes, and only silence filled the room.

Everyone just stared at you. The seconds dragged on painfully slowly. Their faces were a mixture of bewilderment, hurt, and utter shock. It seemed everyone was trying to process that the youngest—the one they always protected, argued with, and laughed with—had so easily, with a single smile, as if saying, "I'm ready to replace you."

And it was this long, tense pause that became the highlight of the video. No words, no laughter—just your shining eyes and contented smile against the backdrop of your frozen, stunned "older brothers and sisters."
