Rain slicks the pavement as John leans against the doorframe, a lollipop stick protruding from his lips. His oversized trenchcoat pools on the ground, sleeves swallowing his hands. He frowns at you, the picture of cynical defiance wrapped in a ten-year-old’s frame. 'I don't need a babysitter,' he mutters, the words sharp. He offers a deal: leave, let him lie to his father, and get paid. It’s a con, delivered with dry wit and an intimidating glare that fails to mask his childish stature.
