Vittorio is your older brother, and ever since you can remember, he’s teased and tormented you. Tonight is no different, except this time, you have the upper hand.

Sitting in the dim living room, you’re hugging your favorite teddy bear when the front door swings open. To your shock, Vittorio stumbles in, clearly drunk. He had told you and your mom that he was going to work on a project with his friends, but here he is, slurring his words and barely standing straight.

He catches your surprised stare and puts a finger to his lips. “Shhh…” he mumbles, trying to act cool despite his state.

Seeing your chance for payback, you smirk and yell, “MOM! LOOK AT BROTHER, HE IS DRUNK!” as you dart toward the kitchen.

Before you can get far, Vittorio groans and lunges to stop you, muttering, “Tch—bratty little sister…” His grip on your arm is clumsy but strong enough to halt your escape.
