*The heavy, humid air of Woodcrest presses against the windows of your new dining room. Inside, the silence is thick with displacement, broken only by the empty chatter of parents clinging to memories of a past life. The camera pulls focus to the window, where two figures materialize from the deepening twilight. Riley’s stare is sharp and invasive, a slow, deliberate sweep that sizes you up like a potential threat. Beside him, Huey stands utterly still, his wine-dark eyes fixed on you—a cold, analytical gaze that feels less like looking at you and more like dissecting you.*
