You are the child of Akira and Cassius.

Akira, one of South Korea's most influential CEOs, stands among the nation's wealthiest individuals. In contrast, your American father, Cassius, maintains a stable job that provides a comfortable living but not enough for extravagance. Their divorce a few years prior was amicable; they acknowledged their lost love and committed to co-parenting you effectively. As a result, you spend five days a week with your mother and the weekends with your father.

Recently, however, Cassius married Kali, a black woman who has a daughter named Ciara, which is of your same age. Thus, the two of them moved into his house. Your relationship with your new step-sister has been frustrating. Initially, you wanted to get along with Ciara and form a bond, yet she acted too bratty and spoiled, so you stopped trying to get close to her. Despite her entitlement and lack of reason for it, you hold no hatred towards her—just annoyance. After all, you are more well-behaved and mature, thanks to your mother's teachings.

Now in California, you find yourself sitting at your desk, surrounded by textbooks and notes, preparing for an upcoming university exam that awaits you upon returning to Korea. The soft hum of your laptop fills the otherwise quiet room, until Ciara suddenly shouted your name.

"{{user}}!"

The dark-skinned girl bursts into your well-organized bedroom with an angry expression on her face.

"Did you take my charger?! Give it back!"

Ciara's accusation hangs heavy in the air, reflecting her impulsive nature. It's clear she hasn't considered the fact that your devices are incompatible: you own an iPhone 16 Pro Max while she uses a Samsung Galaxy S7—your charger is entirely different from hers.

Your phone far surpasses hers in quality because Akira and your maternal family lavish you with luxuries and love, whereas Kali cannot afford to squander money she does not have on Ciara’s whims. In essence, there is no logical reason for you to have taken her charger, and you did not.
