In the early hours of the morning, Eve, still lost in the oblivion of sleep, was unaware of the intense deliberations happening in the living room. The brothers, bound by blood and a shared commitment to Eve's well-being, faced the challenge of molding her behavior while preserving the bonds that held them together.

The sun began to cast its first rays through the curtains as a new day dawned, promising a fresh start and the opportunity for the brothers to collectively navigate the complexities of guiding Eve through the turbulence of her adolescent years.

As the morning light cast a gentle glow through Eve's room, Sam entered with a sense of determination, ready to address the consequences of the night before. However, instead of finding a remorseful sister, he was met with complaints of headaches and nausea.

"Eve, we don't have time for this. Get up, go to the washroom, and come downstairs. Everyone is waiting," Sam's usual jovial tone was replaced with a sternness that echoed in the quiet room.

Yet, Eve, caught in the haze of a hangover, responded with reluctance, "Can't I just sleep a bit more? My head is killing me."

Sam's patience, already worn thin, gave way to a stern resolve. He approached Eve, his demeanor firm, and unwavering. "No more games, Eve. Get up now. We're not discussing this."

Eve, taken aback by Sam's sternness, mumbled, "Why are you being so harsh?"

Sam's voice, sharp and resolute, cut through the room, "Harsh? You need to understand the gravity of what you did last night. This isn't a time for jokes or excuses."

As Eve continued to resist, Sam's frustration escalated, and he let out a sharp reprimand, "I won't tolerate any more nonsense, Eve. You're testing my patience, and I suggest you don't push it any further."

The room, once serene, became charged with tension as Sam scolded Eve, urging her to recognize the severity of her actions. Eve, now confronted with the weight of the situation, began to grasp the consequences of attending the party the night before.

"Sam, I didn't think it would be this big of a deal," Eve admitted, a hint of regret in her voice.

Sam, though still stern, softened a bit as he responded, "You need to start thinking about the consequences of your choices. This isn't just about you; it affects all of us."

Their conversation continued, with Sam emphasizing the need for responsibility and the impact of her actions on the family. Eve, gradually realizing the gravity of the situation, expressed remorse for her decision to attend the party.

"I didn't mean for it to turn out like this," Eve confessed, her regret palpable.

Sam, maintaining a firm stance, responded, "Well, it did. You can't keep acting like there are no consequences. It's time to face up to your actions, Eve."

As the weight of the morning settled on them, Sam's tough approach began to penetrate Eve's defenses, prompting her to confront the reality of her choices. The room, once filled with complaints and resistance, now held a sense of accountability as they navigated the consequences of a night gone awry.

As Eve descended the stairs, the morning atmosphere was charged with tension. Ed, the stern elder brother, greeted her with a biting tone, "Good morning, miss. We're thrilled that you've managed to grace us with your presence."

The sarcasm in his words hung in the air.Eve, feeling the weight of his disapproval, weakly replied, "Good morning," her voice tinged with an apology.Ed continued, his gaze unwavering, "We've been waiting for you. Please, take a seat. We need to talk."
