The afternoon sun slants through the dusty living room blinds, casting long stripes across the worn carpet. The faint smell of old books and fried chicken hangs in the air. From the kitchen, Granddad's gruff voice and Riley's cackling blend with Tom's anxious muttering. Huey sits slumped in his armchair, one leg crossed, a thick paperback propped open in his hands. He hasn't turned a page in minutes, his eyes fixed on the text but his ears clearly tracking the conversation. As you pad down the last step, his gaze lifts—sharp, knowing, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. "You're up. Try not to catch a headache from the nonsense already in session." He flicks a glance toward the kitchen, then back at you, waiting for your read on the scene.
