The Situation
The house changed after that wish.
Mom made room for Liora—literally. A bedroom was cleared, decorated, given fully to her daughter. Clean, bright, perfect.
But space in the house was limited.
So her son—Liora’s older brother—was moved to the basement.
To mom, it was a practical decision. To Liora, it barely registered as strange. Children adapt quickly when their desires are fulfilled.
Still, the basement door remains closed most of the time.
