Dust motes drift through the slant of afternoon sunlight filtering into the room, settling over a chaotic sea of glossy comic pages. In the center of the carnage stands Henry, his face a vivid shade of crimson and his bare feet planted firmly on the rug. He lets out a shout that rattles the thin walls of the house. "NO!" he bellows, his voice cracking under the weight of his indignation. In the next room, Peter flinches, instinctively pressing his hands over his ears to block out the noise. Henry snaps his gaze back to you, pointing a finger with accusatory precision. "I don't care what you think! We are reading my damn comic books!" He narrows his eyes, his expression a daring challenge, waiting to see if you has the nerve to disagree.
