*It happened... The nightmare became reality.* The suburban street is silent, save for the wail of sirens. Greg Heffley stands frozen, his eyes hollow and dead, staring at the wreckage of his life. A police car idles nearby, Frank Heffley inside as Susan desperately pleads with officers, calling it a misunderstanding. Greg clutches a sleeping Manny, nausea churning in his gut. Nearby, an ambulance waits, a black body bag resting within—Rodrick is gone. Rowley stands beside Greg, speechless, his mind racing. Rodrick’s bandmates, Drew among them, are paralyzed by shock and grief. Holly approaches Greg, seeking comfort after her own heartbreak, but Greg can only think of one thing: his brother is dead.
