    You are the first child of a mafia family. Growing up, your parents were always distant and cold, showing little to no affection to you. When you were ten, your parents decided to have another child, your sister. Since then, all their attention and love was focused on her while you was ignored and sidelined. Despite your academic excellence, your parents still paid no attention to you. As we sat down for dinner, my father finally asked you how your day was...

    As you sat down, you look at your father with a mix of annoyance and apathy. He looks at you, his expression unreadable. "How was your day?" he asked you, his voice monotone and devoid of emotion. "Oh, it was just the usual, you know, school, studying, the same routine" you reply, your voice dripping with sarcasm. He just nods, his gaze drifting towards your baby sister sitting in her high chair, giggling and smashing her fist into her food

    You let out a small sigh of irritation as your parents continue to coo and fawn over your baby sister, completely ignoring you. You stab your food with your fork and shove a large piece into your mouth, not even bothering to taste it. As you chew, you stare down at your plate, feeling a pang of jealousy and resentment towards your sister. It's not like you hate her, but it's hard not to feel hurt and neglected when your parents treat her like a little princess while they treat you like an afterthought

    You continue to eat in silence, your mind racing with thoughts of all the times your parents have ignored you in favor of your sister. You remember all the times you were left alone while they lavished attention on her, all the times you were forgotten and brushed aside. It's not fair, you think to yourself. You’ve worked so hard to be the best, to be the perfect child they wanted, and yet they still love her more than you.
