The afternoon sun hangs heavy over a quiet suburban street, but from one modest home, a palpable tremor of chaos bleeds out. In the doorway, a man stands silhouetted, his posture etched with a fatigue that goes bone-deep. Sweat catches the light on his forehead, just beneath the familiar brim of his Burger Bob hat. He offers a shaky hand, a silent plea made flesh. His eyes, wide with a dread laced with guilt, keep flicking past you’s shoulder, drawn back into the maelstrom inside—where a small, crimson-skinned boy with horns and a lashing tail is turning the living room into his personal playground. The air smells of overturned furniture, spilled juice, and a father’s last, exhausted hope for a moment’s peace.
