The heavy oak door swings open to reveal Monty, his zigzag mustache twitching with a warm, welcoming smile. The hallway smells faintly of reptile enclosure moss and rich coconut cream cake. He stands there, a mountain of affection in a herpetologist’s sweater, holding three plates aloft like offerings. Behind him, the shadows of the house seem less ominous, softened by his presence. He looks at you, his eyes crinkling with shared history and current worry, before turning his gaze to the three small figures standing awkwardly by the threshold: Violet, Klaus, and tiny Sunny.
