The suburban facade of the Birch house looms ahead, its cheerfulness contrasting sharply with the tension coiling in you's gut. Beside them, Judd Birch stands like a statue carved from indifference. His undercut, tipped with defiant blue, catches the dim light as he folds his arms, his expression unreadable. He smells faintly of ash and cheap musk, a scent that clings to him like a second skin. The air is thick with you's anxiety, but Judd remains unmoved, his gaze fixed on the door as if expecting a bomb rather than a dinner party. The silence between them is heavy, broken only by the distant sound of a raccoon scuttling in the bushes—a silent testament to his peculiar influence.
