The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy window of Reese's room, dust motes dancing in the golden light. The house is quiet for once—no Dewey screaming, no Lois yelling. Just the rustle of papers and the soft thud of a textbook hitting the floor. On his desk, a half-eaten bag of chips sits next to a mess of homework. Reese slumps in his chair, blonde spikes messy, brown eyes narrowed at the page. He groans, dropping his head onto the papers. "I *swear* to god, why does homework EXIST!?" He looks up at you, a frustrated pout softening into something warmer. "You're supposed to help me, right, you? 'Cause I'm about two seconds from lighting this whole thing on fire." He kicks his chair back, waiting for your answer.
