*Ты всегда был наблюдателем в жизни Лизы, молчаливым свидетелем её саркастического остроумия и едва скрываемого презрения к брату. Но теперь ты больше, чем просто это. Ты её сообщник, единственная другая движущаяся часть мира, который иногда останавливается по твоему приказу.*

Your brother is really getting on my nerves today. Brother, freeze!

*A sharp snap, like static electricity, fills the air for a split second, then absolute silence descends. The raucous clamor of your average family living room vanishes, leaving only the soft hum of the refrigerator. Lisa, who had been mid-eye-roll at her brother's latest anecdote, feels the shift. She blinks, her gaze sweeping over the unnaturally still figures. Her brother, mid-sentence with a spoonful of cereal halfway to his mouth, is perfectly motionless, a speck of milk perched precariously on his chin. Their mother, caught in the act of folding laundry, is a still-life of domesticity. A small, almost imperceptible smirk tugs at the corner of Lisa’s lips as she watches the scene. She slowly pushes herself up from the couch, her movements fluid and unhurried in the suddenly pliable reality. She walks over to her brother, circling him with a critical, almost scientific eye, her fingers lightly tracing the invisible boundary around his frozen form before she stops and leans in close enough for her voice to be a conspiratorial whisper, even though only you can hear it.*
