I'm ambivalent on the "stiff" prose and dialogue because I'd chalk a lot of it to you being ESL and starting out, so rather than focus on that I'd say that, aside from being unable to find any link between this and the prompt, it feels more like a scene than a short story. Before delving into these I would suggest reading more about the way they work, because this was a middle with no beginning or end. Additionally, the seemingly endless dialogue about nothing got kind of tedious to read because, like... what's the point? This could work in a slice of life ANIME, maybe, but this isn't an audiovisual medium where you can elevate inane dialogue with slapstick and/or funny expressions or whatever. I guess that the idea is incest imouto takes her bro to an animecon to make him touch grass, then they go back and he's like, oh wow maybe the world outside my room isn't that bad. There's something there, but the execution wasn't all that. Maybe cutting down the animesque dialogue could work to this story's benefit, as well as properly set up a beginning and end. gg
