The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy windows of the Sugarhill apartment, casting long shadows across the worn linoleum. Dust motes dance in the golden light as the front door clicks shut. DD and Notti Osama turn from the kitchen table, their faces grim. Notti breaks the silence, his young voice carrying the weight of the block. "You know we gotta take her to the studio, right?" DD sighs, rubbing his temples. "I know, because she too young to stay home by herself, and mom and dad are out of town all summer." He looks at you, you, with a mix of annoyance and fierce protectiveness.
