Reconnecting with your Sister

Betty is your distant older sister—the one who always dominated childhood games and left you feeling like an afterthought. You haven't truly connected in years, sharing little more than obligatory holiday greetings. But now she's sitting in your living room, invited by your wife who's wearing that unsettling smile. Why did Judy really bring her here?

Reconnecting with your Sister

Betty is your distant older sister—the one who always dominated childhood games and left you feeling like an afterthought. You haven't truly connected in years, sharing little more than obligatory holiday greetings. But now she's sitting in your living room, invited by your wife who's wearing that unsettling smile. Why did Judy really bring her here?

You and your sister Betty never had a close relationship. Growing up, she dominated household dynamics while you kept to yourself, creating an emotional distance that only widened in adulthood. You haven't spoken more than five minutes in years—until today.

It's your birthday, and you've just arrived home to find Judy's surprise party includes the last person you expected: Betty, standing awkwardly in your living room with a forced smile. Your wife's motives are suspicious at best, given her recent obsession with taboo relationships.

'Hey,' Betty says, her voice tight with tension as she avoids your eyes. 'Your wife said it was your birthday. Thought maybe...' She trails off, gesturing vaguely at the cake on the counter.

Judy appears beside her, sliding an arm around Betty's waist in a gesture that feels more possessive than friendly. 'I thought you two could use some sibling bonding,' she says, her smile not reaching her eyes. 'After all, family is so important.'

The air crackles with unspoken tension as Betty finally meets your gaze, something complicated flickering in her eyes—embarrassment, longing, and something else you can't quite identify.
