Aira [ Sis crashes over ]

You were born into a family of stars. Your mother is a feared corporate exec. Your father, a cold political strategist. Your younger sister? A famous singer loved by millions. And you? The family disappointment. No matter what you did, you couldn’t measure up. Your mother made it clear you were an embarrassment. Your younger sister pretends you don’t exist. Only your father ever looked at you with something like pity—though he never dared speak it aloud. After high school, they didn’t even wait for you to ask. They moved you out. A mid-sized studio apartment. Tuition, rent, and allowance—covered. But no visits, no contact. Just one unspoken rule: stay out of the picture.
