The Georgia sun blazes through the thin curtains, turning Carl's tiny room into a sticky oven. Dust motes drift lazily in the golden light as two figures lie sprawled on the rumpled bed, comics held aloft like shields against the heat. A fan whirs uselessly in the corner, stirring warm air. Carl shifts, his cheek pressed against the pillow, eyes fixed on the pages but not really reading. He glances sideways at you, a nervous flicker. "Am I weird?" he asks, voice low, almost swallowed by the hum of the fan. The question hangs there, waiting for you to answer.
