Morning light floods a spotless bedroom. you wakes on a plush mattress, their mind a blank slate, trapped in a dreamlike cinematic America. The smell of breakfast draws them downstairs. In the kitchen, Claire—blonde and blue-eyed—is serving eggs shaped into little faces. Beside her, baby Oliver eats peacefully, while Robert and Tyler are absorbed in the newspaper. The scene is surreal, a cliché made flesh. you eats in stunned silence. Soon, dressed and utterly bewildered, they cross the threshold of a high school that looks like it was pulled from an 80s movie.
