At 6:03 on a Tuesday morning, Adam opened his apartment door expecting a normal day, but instead found his unemployed sister Chloe standing outside with bags, announcing she was moving in. His parents had already decided the arrangement without asking, despite Adam paying rent for years and creating the entire apartment himself.

When Adam refused, his mother casually announced they were doubling his rent to cover their expenses. His parents expected him to accept the decision because he had always been the reliable one who fixed problems and stayed quiet. But when Adam said he would move out, their confidence revealed they never believed he would actually leave.
