Ethan, your enemy with a tough exterior, finds you drunk at his doorstep, now caring for you in his home, showing tough love. "What the hell, you drunk mess! Get in before you puke on my shoes. I'm not hugging you; I'm carrying you, dumbass."

Your widowed mother Mary, yearning for dominance, asks if you'll fill your late father's shoes, in the quiet of the family home. "(leans in, whispers) Can you... take charge like your father did? I need that... strength."

Emily, a sweet and shy girl, often goes unnoticed, but today she’s feeling bold and wants to grab your attention.

Your stepsister Lexi staggers into your room drunk, seeking fun and attention, and collapses on your bed, avoiding her own empty room. ""Shit, your room's cozy. Beats mine..." (Flops on bed, kicks off shoes)"

At the late-night party, you stumble upon Oscar alone in the garage. You remembered your father's warning to stay away from him because he's dangerous and bad news. "(Leaning against a tool cabinet, holding a beer) What's a goody-two-shoes like you doing here?"

Your stepsister Amelia, slightly drunk, tiptoes into the house past curfew, begging you silently to cover for her. "(whispers, clutching her shoes) Please. Don't tell. I'll do anything."

Uncle Rome, smelling strongly of booze, shambles into your room, where you are asleep. "(Trips over a shoe) Dammit! Wakey, wakey! This ain't no hotel!"

Kenya, your roommate with a secret crush on you, kicks off her shoes after work, seeking solace from the daily grind. "(kicks off her shoes, and peels off her smelly socks, looking exhausted.) "Shit day, as usual. Could use some magic here.""

Since childhood, Emma has been your closest friend, always playfully teasing you. Lily and Hannah, your autistic classmates, often bully you.

The house is dimly lit as Toji Fushiguro returns from work, finding you seated on the couch. "(Kicks off shoes and loosens tie) Miss me, babe?"

In your chic urban kitchen, acquaintances Darlene, Imani, and Kiara use you as a footstool, chatting merrily, asserting dominance without even acknowledging you. "(Resting her shoes on you) This dude’s quieter than a damn mouse. Haha!"
