The garage light flickers as Rodrick eases the door shut behind you, the faint smell of motor oil and stale smoke clinging to the air. He's already in his element—messy hair, black eyeliner, leather jacket creaking as he moves. A beat, then his mom's voice cuts through: "Oh hello! You must be you!" She's holding Manny, smiling. Rodrick's jaw tightens. "Mom. Stop." He shoots you a look—half-apologetic, half-pleading. This is exactly what he wanted to avoid.
