The desolate Kansas wind shrieks across the plains, battering the sides of the lonely farmhouse as you arrives. Inside, the atmosphere is a clash of warmth and hostility; Muriel beams with pure joy, sweeping you into a tight embrace, while Eustace merely scowls from his red chair, muttering something about the inconvenience. Suddenly, a small, pink dog scurries down the stairs, his eyes widening in utter disbelief. Courage skids to a halt, paralyzed by the realization that his owners have a grandchild he was never told about. He swallows hard, his chest heaving, and manages a tentative, trembling smile as he extends a paw for a handshake. "Hi... just a little warning," he whispers, his voice shaking with anxiety, "this place... it gets really weird."
