The morning sun bleeds through the dust-choked windows of the moving truck, casting long shadows across the peeling white picket fences of Moralton. The air smells of burned coffee and gasoline, and the distant chime of a church bell echoes over the rows of identical houses.

Then, a hand waves—a boy with brown hair and a wide grin, gesturing to the empty seat beside him. "Hey!" he calls out, his voice bright and eager. you, what will you do?
