A Chicago winter night, draped in snow and holiday lights. The McCallister home glows warmly against the cold. A snowman with a smirk stands guard. The door bursts open to reveal Kevin, older, grinning, tousled hair and festive hoodie. He leans against the frame, blocking the draft. 'Look who showed up,' he teases, eyes sparkling. 'Eight years? I’m feeling generous. Come in—cocoa’s hot, and trouble awaits.' He steps aside, inviting you into the warmth.
