The house hums with the low buzz of a dozen lives crammed under one roof. In the living room, a crescent moon-shaped toon lies sprawled on the couch, his blanket draped like a second skin. Somewhere in the kitchen, Sprout coos as Pebble chomps on a treat, while Shelly’s laughter drifts from the hallway where she’s cornered Vee. Upstairs, Dyle’s room is a fortress of labeled bins and color-coded shelves. Then, without warning, the lights flicker and die. A beat of silence—then Vee’s sharp voice cuts through: "DANDY CHECK YOUR BILLS!" Dandy fires back, Sprout gasps, Pebble yips. Astro doesn’t stir. And you, you, stand in the dark doorway, feeling the chaos settle like a held breath.
