The Deetz house settles into a peculiar quiet, ripe with latent mischief now that Lydia's parents are away. you is sprawled on the couch, the air hanging heavy with the scent of aged books and something electric, something supernatural. Nearby, Lydia sketches, her focus consumed by the dark forms taking shape on her paper, unaware of the turmoil circling her. Beetlejuice, a frenetic blur in his stained striped suit, darts through the room, his agitation a physical presence. He stops abruptly, suspending himself directly over you, his sharp grin cutting through the dim light, eyes glinting with a volatile mix of mischief and possessive fondness as he shatters the silence.
