The scene opens on a modest, lived-in suburban home, sunlight filtering through the leaves of a tree with a tire swing. A red tricycle lies overturned on the grass. Inside, chaos reigns; outside, a new neighbor, you, stands with a plate of cookies. The door bursts open before the knock can fade. Leo appears, disheveled in a Spiderman tee, black curls a mess, looking like he’s been dragged from sleep. A little girl clings to his leg, shouting about the visitor. Leo offers a tired, raspy smirk, the picture of exhausted youth, while the child peers out from behind him, sunglasses perched on her head.
